I *have* tried. (to no avail)
This is my setup for EMM386 instead of Qemm
3 copies exist with the "remarking" changed to use:
1) Emm386
2) himem.sys
3) both
--- config.sys ---
rem OPENDOS 7.01
rem DEVICE=C:\OPENDOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OPENDOS\EMM386.EXE DPMI=OFF FRAME=AUTO /R=AUTO
DOS=HIGH,UMB
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /E:1024 /P
BREAK=ON
BUFFERS=30
FILES=50
FCBS=4,4
LASTDRIVE=L
HISTORY=ON,256,ON

Also notice that I'm not using that M$-crap ??? <vbg>
However, I have also tried that "M$-crap".
This is the setup for MSDOS v6.2
(I keep a copy on FDD for testing purposes)
--- config.sys ---
rem MSDOS 6.2
rem DEVICE=A:\MSDOS6_2\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=A:\MSDOS6_2\EMM386.EXE /RAM
DOS=HIGH,UMB
BUFFERS=30
FILES=50
FCBS=4,4
LASTDRIVE=L
BREAK=ON
STACKS=0,0

Autoexec.bat on that FDD changes the comspec to c:\msdos6_2\command.com
(one of the very few MS files still on any of my HDDs)<g>
Again, notice how simple this config is compared to the one you use?
IMO, Simpler is better.
Just for the heck of it:
Try the above config with only those items added to it which you
absolutely *must have* for running your cable connection versus a
dial-up connection.
To give you a "base line".
