[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] HELP REQUEST TRW OSC 4.01

I am having troubles with the TRW OSC 4.01 software running on the TRW
HC2001 adpater with netbios and the redirector loaded.  This is on a 
Zenith Z-248 under DOS 3.3+  The problem is applications not having enough
memory and conflicting results from the various free RAM checking utilities.

The following the the command lines to load the TSR, download the kernel
to the board and load netbios & redirector:

inet load 9 -l -p 10 -t 20
netbios -s ""
10rdr work.pro

I get the following output from various free RAM checkers:

Cove's pmap:

Total conventional free memory           491680
Largest conventional free block           83936
Extended memory installed               2621440

DOS'S chkdsk

655360 bytes total memory
407616 bytes free ram

DOS's ram command

Total RAM = 640K
Available = 398K
In use    = 242K

The first is what I expect and most of my apps should run with that much
free RAM, however, Harvard Graphics, Freelance and Paradox 3.0 complain
about insufficient memory and therefore must be seeing one of the two latter
values.

Does anyone have a clue as to what's going on?  A fix?

Thanks,
