Does anyone out there have some experience in using high memory (extended)
for networking applications to regain conventional memory for real 
applications?  We have gone to using TSR's as our network communications 
platform for our PC applications, but some networking environments, especially 
PC-NFS, take so much memory, that we have trouble getting enough memory for
real applications and MS-Windows environments.  

We have been trying to load our TSRs in high memory, so far without success.  
We are familiar with products like 386-to-the-Max, which helps with a 386.
But for 286 users we would like to make it work with extended memory.  It
turns out that, for us, saving 64K is enough to get the applications we want
to run.  We are hoping to find someone who has succeeded in implementing
networking in high memory for some further discussion and pointers.

Thanks...
