If you have a 286, your communications program has to be the FIRST program
loaded so that it resides in the Original 640k. Try to tell desqview to use
as little memory for that program as possible so other programs can run in
the original 640K.

The other programs can swap out of whats left of the original 640k but the
communications program must stay.

Don't worry obout EEMS, Desqview comes with a EEMS driver for Extended mem.


If you had a 386..... you wouldn't have to worry about the lower 640k
