Comms under DESQview: one of many problems when configuring DV. Below is a hints file for running MS-DOS Kermit under DV. The development Kermit v3.02 (which will be the release Kermit v3.10) does cpu slice releases to speedup multitasking. Joe D. ---------------------------------------------- Assistance in creating a DESQview .DVP configuration file for MS-DOS Kermit. My copy of DESQview is version 2.26 running on a 386 machine with 2MB, with no expanded memory, but with QEMM/386. The display adapter is a Video-7 "VGA". The tables below are similar to the DESQview screens. Please, when configuring QEMM to load-high drivers etc always exclude video memory. I have been able to run two copies of MS-DOS Kermit v3.02 together, to different destinations with different communications ports. In addition, full graphics capability was retained.
