I got 5 requests for the r4 beta.
I've gotten no comments from those people, so it can't be too badly broken
  (or it totally wiped out their net access ...)
I haven't heard of anyone testing 130Mb of virtual memory or 68Mb of 
  physical memory, or anything for that matter :-)
I got a few requests for enhancements/bug fixes.  The potential bugs haven't 
  been pinned down yet so are hard to fix.  I'm lukewarm on the other 
  enhancements so far.  
Chris Matrakidis sent me additions for VDS support, but they seriously 
  increase the footprint of the image by about 36K, and I don't completely 
  understand them yet, so I'm thinking about it.  I want to add the DMA
  stuff, but it belongs high.  Humm...
There is also a request to make it work without needing DOS memory free
  (allocate memory up front in the initial startup sequence) which I am
  considering (pmode/w bug workaround).
But at this point I'm very tempted to call the beta r4 and think about r5
  or getting MWDPMI finished ...
