There are example TSRs on assorted DJGPP sites.  As to multiple sessions
communicating with each other, this is of course possible, but certainly
non-trivial.  You coud set up semaphore files.  (slow, but would work over
a network nicely.)  You could set up a semaphore address and force
physical mapping (ugly hack of a way to do it) or you could politely chat
between them using Windows' API, heck I think you can even use network
sockets!
