In response to running a modem in the background:
Microsoft Windows 3.0 does a pretty good job of this.  You can conduct
file transfer in the background using XModem and Kermit with the Terminal
software that is included; other software packages for win3.0 are avail-
able that use almost any transfer protocol you like.
