They can't share the TCP/IP connection because they have the TCP/IP stack
(wattcp) built in as opposed to having one loaded in memory. If wattcp was
a TSR it would probably be possible to have more than one program running
at the same time, but I wonder how much conventional memory that would take
up, and besides you would need to rewrite the Internet programs (or rather
the WatTCP librarys they use.
