As many may have noted on the net recently, we have purchased about 70
386SX PCs which are being used to equip a Computing Laboratory.  These
machines are networked to a DECStation 3100 as a File Server using
PC-NFS.

For those that have seen my questions about Russ Nelson's Freemacs editor
and PC-NFS on the above machines, you may be interested in current
progress.  The suggestion was made by another on the net that the problem
could be insufficient stack in Freemacs.  Russ has confirmed that the
version of Freemacs we are using does not have a Stack Segment and thus
can not be changed with EXEMOD.  The Stack is 256 Bytes.  This may not be
enough.  We have yet to try a version of Freemacs with a larger stack,
courtesy of Russ.

Anyway another question about PC-NFS and 386 machines.

We are playing with the Quarterdeck QEMM memory manager.  It suggests
that various device drivers can be loaded high.  What governs the choice
of suitable candidates.  Which of the PC-NFS drivers will run correctly
when loaded high, if any ?
