Subject: QEMM-384 when I have no idle 64-k below 1024k?

*Story*
I have LAN-software installed on my PC. Unfortunally it occupies 120k
(paragr d000-eff0). I have also VGA so A000-C7FF is also gone.
The other LAN-software and buffers occupy more than 100k of the lowmemory
so at the end I have 370k avail for my programs (impossible to run 
win 3.0 in real mode (if you need it when some appls are not yet ported to
win 3.0).

*Problem*
Quaterdeck 386 memory manager wants to have a consecutive hole of 64k
to be able to generate its EMS-environment.
However, the qemm manual says something that I understood that I do not 
need EMS but can still use *loadhi* to use some holes in 640..1024 area.
I tried combinations of args to qemm.sys: RAM/(no RAM) OFF, FRAME=NONE, NOEMS
but it always activates ems!

Has someone understood qemm in similar situations?

Perhaps I  should use  something else  (386-to-MAX-pro?   - today  they are not
supported windows 3.0, for us it is neccessary)?

******* please help someone ******
