We have limited experience running off an HP 9000/375 with FTP Software,
Inc.  PC/TCP Plus Interdrive.  One nice thing about this arrangement is
that you can load the kernel and the ID TSR with WINSTART.BAT for Windows
3.0 in enhanced mode and thus preserve base memory for the greedy
applications.  Disadvantage:  network drives are only visible to Windows
applications.  If more general access is required, you're stuck with losing
some base memory until the enhanced-version memory managers come along.

No endorsement by my company is intended; this is a personal impression.
