Strange, I've had nothing but success with QEMM and DOS 3.3a with a 6386. 
StarGroup 3.3 (Lan Manager/X) supports running the redirector in extended 
memory (switch is in lanman.ini) and the ISO stack (attiso.dos) in expanded 
memory (switch is in protocol.ini).

The amount of ram used in conventional memeory goes from ~110k to ~40k.
