I have two DOS apps, qmodem and kermit (the non-window one) that I
like to use together. I get qmodem to dial the phone for me and
go through the complicated login process, then exit qmodem and
start kermit up. This all works fine under DOS. This does not work
if I have two Win3 enhanced mode full screen windows, one for qmodem
and one for kermit. The problem is that when I exit qmodem and close
the window, something (Win3?) drops DTR on the modem and it hangs up.

Also, if I just leave the qmodem window alive and try to open the
kermit window, Win3 complains about a conflict on the comm port.
It asks me which app should get it but no matter which app I
select, the machine hangs.

Any suggestions?
