/* ---------- "Comm programs under Windows/386" ---------- */
I have a question about running a communication program under
Windows/386. How relibably will a comm program run as a background
process. I'm using Procomm Plus right now and haven't seen any problems
yet, but then again I haven't really put Windows to the test by running
a bunch of other programs simultaneously.
When could I expect problems to occur? While running a disk intensive
program? By the way, does Windows use time slicing to manage applications?

I use KErmit and it works fine, even in the background. Every once
in a while it needs to retry a block - maybe one in 100. Yes,
Windows 386 time slices.
