386Max works quite well with PCNFS. But not all drivers can be loaded high!

PCNFS.SYS and SOCKDRV.SYS can be loaded high. We are using cabletron cards
and I have found that even though there drivers can be loaded high the machine 
hangs as you report. Don't load them high. 

In the autoexec file or whereever you start NFS , PRT can be loaded high.

Previously we where using 3com 3c503 cards with packet drivers. The packet 
driver could be loaded high.

As you can see a bit of experimentation is required!

To use 386Max and windows in enhanced mode you need 386max v5.1
I'm pretty sure i could get windows 3 to run with 386max v5.0 but not in enhanced mode.

Hope this helps!!
