I have the following problem.  On a IBM PS/50, I am running desqview 2.2.
I run kermit and do a file transfer in window one, and run an editor (epsilon)
in window 2.  While in window 2, the machine crashes, such that
I can type anything in, exit epsilon or desqview.  The keyboard is essentially
locked.  I have to turn off the machine (I can not Ctrl-Alt-Del reboot) and
turn it on.  I get an error code

    301
    8602

error which is a keyboard error, I think.  I then reboot and the system is
back to normal.  This system crash is pretty reliable and
quite annoying.  I got it, but far less frequently, I think, with Desqview
2.01.  I have all the standard and appropriate settings on my windows (no
swapping communications out and so on) and have removed all TSR's to
minimize other problems.  STill no luck.

Thanks for any help
