Well, on my 10 MHz V-20 IBM XT clone, I was able to run Procomm Plus v1.1A
under MS-Windows 2.03 and do downloads in background at 2400 baud.  This
did slow down my system quite a bit, but it did work fine.  If your system
is a faster machine, like a AT or 386 machine, then 2400 baud should be
no problem.  Note: I used the ProComm Plus protocols (Ymodem Batch I think),
but you can also use DSZ with MS-Windows fine.  

If you want a Windows-specific application, then Proteus is supposed to be
pretty decent, but I don't have it and can't give any more information right
now.  If I find an address, I will E-Mail it to you.
