??? 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... :)
