Not really.  The minimal "multitasking" I've needed to do, I can do with
a drop or shell out to DOS to go check something or to do something. 
Years ago, when I was using a 2400 modem, I'd multitask by using a
laptop to read messages while I was spending hours downloading the next
packet....    But that's not an issue any more... :)  I'm not a
sysop, so don't have a bbs running in the background, for example.  I
don't have programs running in the background while I have to do
something else... well, ok, if it's a long download, I might leave the
room and go get something from downstairs... but that wasn't what you
were talking about... ;)
