QEMM only puts drivers into High RAM (memory between 640K and 1MB not being used by video, page frame, and ROMs). QEMM does not load drivers into expanded memory or extended memory (you should have Sun or whoever is doing PC-NFS to write drivers that can be loaded mostly in expanded or extended memory, Novell shell drivers exist that do this, rather than 40k low, its 7k low and 33k in expanded or extended memory). A few things that can help put drivers up high is to make sure that QEMM comes before any drivers that you would like to put up high. Also, trying to play with the addresses of cards that need to put ROMs in that High RAM area would be a good idea, like setting the network cards to start at c800 and forcing the EMS page frame to go from e000 to efff. Also, if you think you have mappable areas in that high RAM area, as per manual, you should add the INCLUDE parameter on the QEMM line (along with the RAM parameter to use that high RAM area for drivers that are normally loaded low).
