Please provide more information: what is in your config.sys, your
autoexec.bat, etc.

I am running Zenith's Version of win 3.0 on my Z-386-16 at this very
moment. I started windows, started Procom+, and logged into the Apollo
at school to start my news program. No problems at all. 
I cannot swap to other DOS programs without loosing this connection, as
I loose the mouse control in windows. So, Windows is not perfect, but it
works adaquately. I can swap most programs in and out without too much
problem.

Are you running Zenith Windows or generic?
How old is your 386? - Do you have a fairly recent version of the
rom-bios? I had to replace mine when I got the Zenith Cache card as it
initially refused to work properly.

What mode is windows starting up in?
