- Are you talking about multitasking in win95 and a modem connection going at
- the same time? If you are I have seen a problem whenever a MENU item is
- selected in win95 the modem burps or comes to a screeching HALT. I don't know
- what the soulution might be, but I use a workaround by not selecting any menu
- items while a download or transfer is in progress!
