You *can* issue software interrupts in 386 enhanced mode, at least to
the most often used vectors, such as 2F, the multiplex interrupt. I use
this a lot. Installing TSR's as INT-2F-handlers is always a good idea
because you cannot conflict with other TSR's that easy as if you choose
some other arbitrary one if you follow the INT-2F specifications.
Also, when issuing a software interrupt, you can pass the segment value
for the GlobalDosAlloc()ated block in an universal register and load it
into a segment register in real mode in your TSR.
