I'm in a bind...

I have OS/2 v1.33 (can't use 2.0 due to lack of suitable device drivers)
I'm developing an application that runs on a LAN (IBM Adaptor card) under OS/2
and talks with another application on DOS (can't put the DOS app. on
OS/2 due to lack of device drivers!!)

The OS/2 side needs to open a telnet session with a remote host. I have
IBMs TCP-IP (latest release = 2.1.1 (or thereabouts)).

The problem is that IBMs TCP-IP uses DOS memory for its 2 drivers IFNET
and INET. Each driver uses 100k and another 140k seems to be unavailable
to DOS (even with a fairly cut-down CONFIG.SYS). With 340k out of 640k
unavailable to DOS, I can't run my 360k DOS application.

QUESTIONS:
1) Why is 140k out of 640k unavailable to DOS with even a minimal
   CONFIG.SYS (i.e. no TCP-IP or LAN drivers)? ... Can this be changed?
   (RMSIZE is = 640 in CONFIG.SYS)
2) Can the TCP-IP drivers be persuaded to load high and thus be unavailable
   to DOS (and not use its memory) (I only need telnet from OS/2)?
3) Are there any TCP-IP packages (commercial or not) that either take a
   small chunk of DOS memory or none at all?
4) Are there utilities that will show me which drivers are using how much
   memory?

Please help me...I'm in a maze of twisty passages all alike!!
