I've never used Qmodem Pro for Win, so I don't know how well it works, so I cannot comment there. But for me, Procomm Plus for Win has always performed stellarly! Of course, I've always run it with a 16550 (or better--I have a Telcor T/Port--a co-processed serial port with 16K buffering in my desktop machine). At any rate, I've always had no trouble at all opening other software, resizing windows, switching to other programs, etc.-- and Procomm has always done well D/L'ing in the background--no hiccups at all! Of course that was before I tried to run it on the ThinkPad with a weak serial port... :) ----- Randy Whittle whittle@chaph.usc.edu University of Southern California School of Business (Fight on, 'SC Trojans!) - Motorcycle nut, HP 48GX & 100LX user, & lover of fine chocolate...
