I am also running a 286 under standard mode.  I haven't experienced this
problem at all.  Although, I'm using WinQVT, one of the worst comm programs
I've *ever* used.  Maybe that's all that WinQVT is good for.   ;-)
I start a ZModem Dl and I click on the minimize box.  WinQVT goes bye-bye
and I am able to run other apps.
