Certainly an interesting design I never programmed multitasking Forth but two threads (or processes) per port is a very typical way to do these things in other systems. > So how did one communicate with these tasks?

There's an article by Brad Rodriguez about it and the interface is similar to how it's done in Go, Python, Erlang, etc. Whether it's simpler than async is yet another of those dreary opinionated topics with proponents on both sides. I myself find it simpler. Most Python users prefer async so I'm in the minority (Python supports both styles). In Go, Erlang, and Haskell, multiple lightweight processes/threads/"goroutines" are the norm. Python users may be thread-averse because Python uses OS threads which are fairly expensive. Java also usually uses OS threads and for a long time had no way to do async at all, but (true to form for Java) people didn't care how expensive it was until they had to.
