[comp.sys.novell] Memory driver needed to use xmsnet or emsnet

Hello all.

I want to use the xmsnet3.exe or the emsnet3.exe shells in my 286 based
workstations that support extended memory.  What driver do I need to get
to make these shells work?  I've tried the ems40.sys driver found on
Rodan but it was extremly slow.  I also have tried the extended memory
driver from SoftBytes.  Each of these drivers chew up 64k of memory plus
the sys driver.  After loading the driver and using the emsnet3 shell, I
have less memory available that if I just used the net3 shell.

Are there any EMS or XMS drivers available that don't use so much memory????


Thanks in advanced.   Jeff
