When running DOS 5.0 and EMM386 with no page buffer,
attempts to start Lotus 123, result in the 
123 Copyright screen appearing and then 
	
	DOS 123 error: Protected mode requires VCPI within virtual 8086

Does anyone know wha this mean exactly and how to get around 
it. (Stopping EMM386 will do the job, but means I can't
load network driver high ... so there is no room to load large
sreadsheets ..... sigh )
