Problem: I want to be able to be logged on to two machines simultaneously from an IBM PC (the machine has two communications ports). I want to be able to go back and forth between the two hosts. I will be logged on to one machine using Crosstalk. DOS will not allow me to go back and forth between the two sessions, because even if, for example, I "run" the second communications program from Crosstalk (having used Crosstalk to establish the first communications session), I will need to kill the second session before the DOS "exit" command will take me back to the first session running under Crosstalk. Question: What is the best way to do what I want? Will Microsoft Windows or DesqView work? (I do not have a graphics card; I have 320K of RAM.) I would be particularly interested in hearing from people who have actually tried this successfully. -- Charles Blair ..!ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!cjdb The University of Chicago lib.cb%chip@UChicago.Bitnet
