	Make sure that the program is non-swappable, *AND* close on exit to
DOS is set to No, that way, Desqview loads it instead of DOS.  If it doesn't 
work, try Qmodem SST V3.1a by John Friel III.  It works, because I use it 
all of the time, and my machine is much like yours.  I have used Kermit, 
Zmodem, Xmodem and Ymodem and all work flawlessly under Desqview.  I haven't 
tried Telix, but I know that Kermit 2.30, PC-VT, and Procomm won't work under
Desqview.  It is very picky about comm programs for some reason...
