     I need a little ( OK alot ) of help.  For the last 2 weeks I have been tring to do this.:
( Please tell me I'm not insane for trying...)

Hardware:  Dell 486D/33 w/ integrated SVGA & 8Mb RAM.
		SMC Elite16 Combo E-Net card.
		Bernoulli 90Mb Pro Removable drive
		( NO hard drive- must boot off of the Bernoulli !)

Software:   Config File:  DOSCFG.EXE > to determine where and how many 
				bernoullis there are. ( NEEDED)
			DOSOAD.SYS > Bernoulli Driver.  (NEEDED)
			QEMM.SYS > You know... ( NEEDED )
			SCPLUS > Disk Cache optimized for Bernoulli cartridges. ( WANTED)
			STACKER.COM > You know... ( WANTED you can imagine w/ only 90Mb)
	Autoexec.bat:  LSL.COM > Link Slip Layer ( NEEDED )
			SMCPLUS.COM > E-Net Card Driver. (NEEDED)
			TCPIP.EXE > TCP/IP protocol. ( NEEDED)
			TELAPI.EXE > Allows the running of Novell TCP/IP 
				programs ie. Filexprs , et al. (NEEDED)

	Also consider that QEMM cannot use any stealth mode on this computer, 
and I must X=A000-CDFF for the SVGA, the ethernet card and the bernoulli card.
	When I run DV/X only about 380K is available in conventional memory, 
because of all of those bloody driversthat I need.
	What I'm trying to do is run DV/X and Windows 3.1 ( Standard Mode) 
concurrently ( NOT Win 3.1 in an X-Window), but to switch back and forth between them.
	This works for the most part, BUT when I try to use a Windows Network program 
( using the tcp driver ) It blows up. QuarterDeck suggest in the mannual, that when running 
network drivers that you might have to experiment with loading some before you start DV/X
and some in the window that you want to run the network program in.  I`ve tried every
combination of loading these drivers before starting Win 3.1, but to no avail.
	What I'm trying to do seems like a reasonable thing to want to do, but even if I got 
the drivers working, what could anyone do in 380K?  Does anyone have DV/X running on a 
network, AND have enough memory to do any computing?
Any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated.
ThankYou
-Sean
