I'm still running DR-DOS 7.03 on several machines for JNOS Packet Radio and I use JNOS as for several servers. DR-DOS has a version of QEMM build in the EMM. I started, obviously, with M$ DOS 5.0 as supplied with the computer and have used that with QEMM 6 I think it was, but reasonably quicly moved to DR-DOS. I have a PC DOS copy, but I definitely prefer DR-DOS. You might also check out FreeDOS. Is is supposed and indeed seems to be a very powerfull DOS, but I only have been playing with it for a moment. It seems it needs somewhat of a learning curve, at least that was my impression as I did get a bit of a Linux commandline version install when I did install it on a test machine that I basically did not look at since due to lack of time.
