I use Novell Personal Netware for networking with a dedicated server plus
each of 4 other machines acting in SERVER/CLIENT mode
The only drivers that work for this is Ulrich's FreeDOS 1.0 drivers
Himem.exe and "EMM386.EXE NOEMS" (no other switch is necessary). I load DOS
HIGH, UMB.
This gives me between 689 & 717 conventional and 44-46 UMB depending on the
machine. CTMOUSE doesn't like some of my programs so I use a Logitech
Mouse driver which utilizes high memory on its own. After PNW gets loaded,
I end up with 444-456 conventional with 4k left in UMB plus a reserve EMS
which gets managed by PNW and it own DPMS driver.
