I think you've gotten your numbers wrong, but otherwise your complaints are
legitimate - we're working on all of them.

The PC/TCP kernel takes up about 75Kb by default (v2.05) and the IDRIVE TSR
about 50Kb by default (v1.1), so the total is around 125Kb.  Sun's total is
around 80Kb, and it can't be unloaded from the keyboard.  Memory managers
like 386-to-the-Max or QEMM work with most DOS TCP/IP TSRs, ours included.
Nobody has EMS support yet, that I know of.  If you're using Packet Drivers
or NDIS drivers, one of our distributions can support most of the Ethernet
cards available (and some 802.5 cards that have NDIS drivers).
