The modem driver is not >compatable with emm386 so I have to run everything in conventional Ouch!!! You don't say which EMM386 you are using. You might try another one? For example, the DR-DOS 7.XX versions have had a few problems, although the one from DR-DOS 7.03 (or 7.02 update) is not too bad. AFAIK, the MS/IBM versions are well behaved, as is the one from DR-DOS 6.0 (which was actually the version Caldera used in the DR-Webspyder demo!). Failing this, you just have to make do with HiMem and use the "DOS=high" setting in CONFIG.SYS, at least that will get most of the DOS out of the conventional memory. Also, if you are using DR-DOS 7.XX, you can make some drivers such as NWCACHE and NWCDEX run in extended memory, by loading the DPMS driver first.
