This is the cost on my machine wilth expanded memory

	ethdev.sys	13600 bytes - maps services to packet driver
	tcpip.sys	14272 bytes - their kernal
		 that is 27872 bytes lost from the config.sys
	bwrpc.com	2736 bytes - the remote procedure call handler
	bwnfs.com 	22480 bytes - the nfs handler with 1k read/4k write
				sizes
                        ------
                        53088 bytes!
ethdev.sys is much smaller on my machine because I have it load its buffers
in expanded memory. The other drivers also appear to be a bit
smaller on my setup then yours. Maybe we are using different versions/updates
of the software.
