UMBPCI.SYS simply allows access to upper memory blocks if your machine
has them. An EMM__.SYS will do this too, but there's the added overhead
of extra memory management that you don't need if you don't use EMS
memory. UMBPCI.SYS is extremely small in memory. The actual management
is done by HIMEM.SYS, which in PTS-DOS is very, very small, too.
UMBPCI.SYS is basically for Pentium upwards. The same functions are
provided to older machines by HIRAM.EXE which can usually be found for
download wherever UMBPCI.SYS can.
There's a good UMBPCI.SYS page at

I have enough upper memory left after installing disk cache, cd-rom
drivers, so on, that the PPP driver is loaded into high memory instead
of regular conventional memory. That's why the amount of "DOS" memory is
unaffected by starting it.
Why aren't more DOS developers using the "flat real" or "unreal" memory
model?
