One way around this is to hit ALT-J and leave Boyan running while you do
whatever else you want.

If that doesn't leave you enough spare RAM, use SWAP -d -f command 
(that's literaly "command" so that you run another instance of
command.com) to recover the RAM that Boyan is using.  Even though Boyan
has hooked interrupts, it still comes back running after the swap.  I
use the original SWAP for that, since SWAP11 seems to be incompatible
with Boyan for some reason (maybe its hooked interrupts).
