Q: How can I get more conventional memory?

A: Use a memory manager such as DOS's emm386 or QEMM. Load DOS
high and load Kali high (lh Kali). You should be able to get Kali
into an upper memory block on most systems. Read your DOS manual
or type "help emm386" at the DOS prompt. If use have a CDROM, try
to avoid loading all of its drivers. Using DOS 6.0 and above you
can create multiple configurations in your config.sys. Again, read
the DOCS.

Most games that use their own memory menager (like Doom and
Descent) will still work when used with emm386 or qemm. They also
still need at least some minimal conventional memory. Both Doom
and Descent will have fits if the conventional memory is below 350K
(approx).

If using Merit's etherppp (ppp.zip) you might concider trying
pppshare instead. It uses 20-30K less memory.
