Hi Everybody,

We have an IBM PS/2 Model 60 running as a file server for an IBM Token-Ring
Network. After the network has started, there is only ~100K RAM left and
virtual no application can be loaded. This server, however, has 8 Mb of
expanded memory in it. I wonder if it is possible for me to startup
Microsoft Windows (2.11 or 3.0) and startup the network under Windows so
that I can address all 8 Mb of expanded memory by swapping the network
software in and out all the time. I have a feeling that it cannot be done 
based on my previous experience with IBM products (no offence intended). 
Does anybody ever try something similar (i.e. starting up any network under 
Windows) and make it work? Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Andy
