Hi Luca, based on the earlier communication on sourceforge that you quote, mainly with Anthony Williams / Rugxulo, I agree that you should try using some JEMMEX options like X=TEST or I=TEST.
Actually JEMMEX has lots of options, some of which differ from what you are used to from HIMEM and EMM386, so check the readme. As you say that you have used MS DOS on the same computer before, you could use MEM (with various options) to see where MS EMM386 puts the UMB - maybe JEMMEX is too optimistic and puts UMB where the network card needs I/O buffers. Then you can exclude that area with suitable JEMMEX options. Also, not all drivers work well when loaded into UMB, so try loading NTSTS as DEVICE instead of as DEVICEHIGH :-) Plus, as Rugxulo already said, you can load HIMEMX and JEMM386 separately instead of loading the combined single JEMMEX driver. There are even a few other alternatives for HIMEMX to try out. Last but not least, you could try STACKSHIGH or larger stacks, but putting stacks HIGH might have side effects itself as well.

I would also personally recommend HIMEMX + JEMM386, just in case (and > read the docs, you may have to add things like "X=TEST I=TEST"). ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
