Problem: I want to be able to be logged on to two machines
simultaneously from an IBM PC (the machine has two communications
ports). I want to be able to go back and forth between the two hosts.
I will be logged on to one machine using Crosstalk. DOS will not allow
me to go back and forth between the two sessions, because even if, for
example, I "run" the second communications program from Crosstalk
(having used Crosstalk to establish the first communications session),
I will need to kill the second session before the DOS "exit" command
will take me back to the first session running under Crosstalk.

Question: What is the best way to do what I want? Will Microsoft
Windows or DesqView work? (I do not have a graphics card; I have 320K
of RAM.) I would be particularly interested in hearing from people who
have actually tried this successfully.
