[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Multi-tasking XMODEM transfers

blk@mitre.org (Brian L. Kahn) (12/04/90)

I would like to run file transfers (PROCOMM) in background on my PC
while using my favorite editor (uemacs) in the foreground.  I have
MS windows 3.0, but I can't seem to even run the terminal package
provided with windows in the background without losing packets,
ultimately destroying the transfer synchronization.  Is windows 3.0
up to this task?  Should I look into other task switchers instead?  I
don't use the fancy features of windows, I would be happy with a
simple scheduler that worked with the modem.

Vital statistics:  386SX 16MHz, 2400 baud internal Hayes compatible.
1 MB memory, soon up to 2MB.  Everything works single tasked.
