Does anyone have any idea why, when I use any DOS-based comms program from
within a Win95 DOS-box, Win95 locks up completely.  I does not seems
specific to any comms program - I use the DOS Demon software, other old
bulletin board progs (Telix).

This is a pain, as I have to shutdown to DOS everytime I want to collect
mail and news, etc.!

Any ideas anyone?
