There are a few EMM drivers for the 386 that use the 386 memory mapping
hardware to emulate EMS 4.0.  Two of the most popular are QEMM from 
Quarterdeck(highly recommended if you are a Desqview fan) and 386totheMAX? by
Qualitas.  Because the 80386 in essence has builtin hardware support for
EMS, there is no reason to use EMS boards.  That is why 386 systems only
come with extended memory.
