I am also running a 286 under standard mode. I haven't experienced this
problem at all. Although, I'm using WinQVT, one of the worst comm programs
I've *ever* used. Maybe that's all that WinQVT is good for. ;-)
I start a ZModem Dl and I click on the minimize box. WinQVT goes bye-bye
and I am able to run other apps.
