Any DOS comms program will hog the CPU - there's little that can be done
about it, except that installing Ray Gwinn's SIO drivers will improve
the performance a lot.

If you are using the KA9Q package supplied by Demon, you can replace the
online program NET.EXE with an OS/2 port of the same program available
on Demon's ftp server.  This actually works better than the DOS one (has
some extra goodies and bugs fixed), has been kept up to date with the
idiosyncracies of Demon's Ascend servers, and of course leaves plenty of
CPU time for other apps.
