150 KB is a little inflated.  The kernel for the DEPCA board takes 
85 K and InterDrive takes 49. This brings the total to roughly 135 K,
with both TSRs loaded. Furthermore, it is not necessary to load
InterDrive to use the services of the basic PC/TCP package. If, in
fact, you plan to use mostly the remote login from PC/TCP, as it
sounds from your post, you can load just the kernel at boot (taking
85K of memory), and load InterDrive only when you need it.

Hope this helps!
