	Does anyone know of a good communications program that is FULLY
MSWINDOWS compatible ? It should have at least ANSI/VT100 emulation
(Tek 401X graphics emulation would be a real plus), [XYZ]MODEM and
KERMIT protocols and be able to fully operate multitasking and sustain
at least 2400baud up/downloads as a background task/window.
	I know that standard apps PROCOMM, PC/INTERCOMM and probably
KERMIT will work with WINDOWS 386, but I don't think they can hack
the background I/O requirements.
	Too bad that MSWINDOWS TERMINAL is so lame. I do know of a
method for using TERMINAL in conjunction with the DSZ (ZMODEM) comm
program to more or less get the job done, background downloads and all,
but isn't there a better way ?
	Please reply by email. Thanks.

        I would also be interested. I did find one on a BBS that only ran
on 1.03 ver of Windows.  I am looking for one for ver 2.?.

The PD program Proteus is slowly, oh so slowly, attaining goodness.  I
believe that it works under Windows 2 now, supports vt100/ansi and a
number of good (ie, beyond Xmodem) transfer protocols.

Well, on my 10 MHz V-20 IBM XT clone, I was able to run Procomm Plus v1.1A
under MS-Windows 2.03 and do downloads in background at 2400 baud.  This
did slow down my system quite a bit, but it did work fine.  If your system
is a faster machine, like a AT or 386 machine, then 2400 baud should be
no problem.  Note: I used the ProComm Plus protocols (Ymodem Batch I think),
but you can also use DSZ with MS-Windows fine.  

If you want a Windows-specific application, then Proteus is supposed to be
pretty decent, but I don't have it and can't give any more information right
now.  If I find an address, I will E-Mail it to you.

Good old Crosstalk XVI works fine in an MS Window. In fact I am reading
news and writing this reply in an MS Window right now.
