The "ethernet" window I refer to is a standard DOS window into which 
the kernal is loaded.  I have been using it for 1-year + for rlogin
and FTP file transfers.  I have tried all the keyboard conflict settings
with no effect.

Again, I have been using this technique for some time, and performance
is not noticibly worse than when run outside of desqview.  While this may
be the cause of the keyboard conflict, it is definitely NOT fatal.  The
window does not overly impact other windows, but file transferes are slowed
by the multitasking as expected.

If I wanted the slowness of a graphical environment, I'de be using MS Windows.
I own DVX but have not installed it yet due to lack of disk and time.  I got
it to run remote Mathmatica off a Sun, imagine my suprise when I found out
I would need an additional $200 package to really do X-windows off a Unix
system.  Our technical support people now are recommending a MS-Windows
based X-server, it works fine where they had allot of pain getting DVX to
work as advertised. 

I need 550k + "other" windows on my machine to do my job.  Our tech support
managed to load the kernal high before running DVX, by using Stealth features
and Dos 5.0.  End result - about 450k other windows in DV.  That sounds like my
old 1-Meg '286!  Sorry, that won't do.  So I guess I'll just keep things as they
are until...  Luckily I don't use remote drives or I would have no choice.

Thank you Gary for your quick response.  Its nice to see that Quarterdeck reads
this newsgroup.
