  I've got ProComm Plus (old version) sitting in 160k. You can't bring
up editors or setup (but how often do you do that?). I bring up DSZ in
a separate window of about 65k to do file transfers, then close the
ProComm one. This must be done anyway, because DSZ captures the interrupts
and disables them on its way out, leaving ProComm dead. The same could
happen to DSZ if you were to bring up another comm program.
  I know, the manual claims it will disrupt communications, crash the machine,
and bring in lawsuits from the FCC (and all those other nasty things), but
I've been doing it for years without trouble. Just make sure one is finished
before the other begins, or get more memory (or better machine >sigh<)
