The very best DOS extender/multitasker I've known is Windows.  3.1 was
quite handy on my old '286/1meg, where I could switch between 2 concurrent
Win apps, one of which was usually a terminal proggie.  Ahh, those were the
days... 2400bps modem, beernuts and hot coffee.[giggle]

The nodes in our net know how to keep their NC happy.  I get all their
rejects.  Whoo!hoo!

Cheers,
Paul.
