Does anyone have any suggestions for a PC setup that would allow multiple sessions, with multiple windows to be run on a PC? I can do multiple sessions right now with NCSA, but I need the ability to see two session simultaneously. Any solutions gratefully accepted (except UNIX-based).

Quarterdeck distribute a beta test module called DVFTP that acts as a front end to FTP Software's kernel (TCP). This allows *any* PC/TCP application to run multitasked under Qd's DESQview. I have tried it. In addition to possible malfunction, there is a nuisance. The problem is that FTP's kernel is not reentrant, that DVFTP has to serialize calls to it and that these calls may loop. Consequently, an app may suspend another for a while, and, curiously enough, not only a TCP/IP one. Most noticeable effect is on slow lines or when waiting for the never to come. A reentrant kernel and replacing loops with DESQview "waits" would be a right direction towards true TCP/IP under DOS, and I'd like to hear from FTP Software that they do like it too. DOS being DOS, multiple tn3270 sessions would save executable code memory too.

Novell's LAN WorkPlace for DOS TCP/IP, version 4.0, includes Win3 versions of Telnet et al that work fine with multiple sessions. Very impressive, but not quite shipping yet (any day now).
