I have used DR-DOS 6.0 from Gary, & DR-DOS 6.01 from Novell since 1992 or
there-abouts, the taskmax, the EMM386-mem system, supporting Win 3.1 as a
task recent to run Juno.com 1.49 & acrobat 3.0, various functions &
features, powering a voice mailbox system from Complete PC w/fax in & out,
& data too in & out, remote using Closeup from the Norton-Lambert Corp.,
oh golly what else., no network, but many file transfer utilities between
computers.  Several computers, Wavemate & Compaq & NEC & ...etc. -- all
386, well a Compaq 286 also, for a 24 hour a day operation.  Works great! 

The Best To You & Your's,
