DESQview allows programs that are semi-well-behaved to be run in the
background. The main requirement is for the program's CRT driver to
be "TopView Aware" with the int 10h ah=ff etc. call.  A program that
accesses the modem interrupts cannot be swapped to disk - this would
be true for a program that assigns any interrupt to itself.

Professional-YAM will operate in a *view window.  The Crosstalk 3.6 doco
indicates it will also.

Pro-YAM also runs under Windows, but Windows' non preemptive scheduling
interferes with most comm applications.
