Crosstalk 3.6 (recently released) is Topview compatible,
so I guess it would be possible to have two Crosstalk's running
concurrently under Topview.  Microstuf, the Crosstalk developer,
says you could even have a Crosstalk running all day long
downloading (or uploading) files or receiving electronic mail.

Best deal yet:  Microstuf will upgrade your crosstalk 3.4 or 3.5 to 3.6
for free!  

Anothee idea worth pursuing:  you can 
change your com port dynamically using the POrt command in Crosstalk.
I don't think doing this would log you off. (In fact, this works.
I just tried it.)  It's possible to have 2 .xtk files that set your
parameters depending on which port you're using.  Then just do a
	LOad com1parm
	or
	LOad com2parm
assuming your command files are com?parm.xtk.

Here's what I gleaned from an earlier Usenet article:
