Quick update on EXMS86: I have published v0.9.2 today. This version
works around fragile EMS 4.0 implementations on some EMS cards. EXMS86
should be much more universal now.
I have also confirmed that FreeCOM and its XMS-swap feature works on an
8086 (I tested this with 86box set to an emulation of a 8088 PC XT with
a virtual Bocaram XT EMS card).

you're fortunate enough to own such a card, today you can unlock XMS
support by installing EXMS86.
EXMS86 is a TSR that provides XMS 2.0 extended memory services by
leveraging an EMS 4.0 expanded memory source. It’s tailored for 16-bit
DOS systems outfitted with EMS hardware such as the Lo-Tech EMS board,
Bocaram XT, etc.
