I am running a 286-16 with one meg of ram on board and 2 megs of EMS on an aboveboard. The minimum ram I can configure my motherboard to is 512k (very little backfilling here). Using Desqview, can I multitask a communications program like telix to allow background file transfers? Please email a response as no one on earth can read the 300+ daily postings here.
