Crosstalk 3.6 (recently released) is Topview compatible,
so I guess it would be possible to have two Crosstalk's running
concurrently under Topview. Microstuf, the Crosstalk developer,
says you could even have a Crosstalk running all day long
downloading (or uploading) files or receiving electronic mail.
Best deal yet: Microstuf will upgrade your crosstalk 3.4 or 3.5 to 3.6
for free!
Anothee idea worth pursuing: you can
change your com port dynamically using the POrt command in Crosstalk.
I don't think doing this would log you off. (In fact, this works.
I just tried it.) It's possible to have 2 .xtk files that set your
parameters depending on which port you're using. Then just do a
LOad com1parm
or
LOad com2parm
assuming your command files are com?parm.xtk.
Here's what I gleaned from an earlier Usenet article:

Thought you all would like to know that Crosstalk-XVI version 3.6 began
shipping today. Updates are available to all registered Crosstalk users for

New features include the following:
Kermit file transfer protocol
TopView compatability
Auto-Baud rate selection
New higher speeds (for use with LAN's, ISDN, and direct connect)
Hardware (RTS/CTS) handshaking
RS-232 status lights on screen (like having an external modem!)
Improved Xmodem file transfers
VT100 improvements include ANSI 3.64 color mode (with a color display)
Script file improvements (variables!)
Additional remote commands for greater flexibility
Full support for IBM EGA, PGA, Tandy 1000, Compaq, and other no-flicker video
