To me, this still indicates a problem, because DJGPP is supposed to be
capable of running under any protected-mode host that fully supports the
DPMI 0.9 spec.  Could you be more specific about your original problem;
for example, what exactly is the error that EMM386 reports?  Can you try
different EMM386 settings to see if they still trigger it?  What if you
use the OpenDOS DPMI but not EMM386?  Can cwsdpmi.exe be loaded resident
under OpenDOS?

I know - let me check the FAQ!  Hmm... here's an excerpt from chapter
3.1:

8<----
DJGPP will run under native DOS; any other operating system is OK if it
includes a DPMI server. Environments known to run DJGPP besides native
DOS: Windows 3.1 & 3.11 DOS box, OS/2 (including Warp) DOS box, Windows
95/DOS 7, Novell NWDOS 7.x (but several people have found the DPMI
services of NWDOS buggy, so they should probably be turned off and
CWSDPMI used instead), and Linux DOSEmu environment. 
8<----

Note what it says about Novell NWDOS (which OpenDOS is apparently
derived from).  I guess your problem is not unique, after all.  ;)

HTH!
