Here's the scenario.

I install DVX and the TCP/IP Network Option to run it over PC/TCP.

I run Optimize Stealth and the system gives me (via mem/c):

Conventional Memory :

  Name                Size in Decimal       Size in Hex

   4014080 bytes available XMS memory

So I bring up DVX (with a DOS window and xterm session active) and Memory
Status tells me:

			Total		Total		Largest
			Memory		Available	Available
Common Memory		30720		18508		17300
Conventional		 533K		  89K		  80K
Expanded		3984K		1936K		 512K

Needless to say I can't get some of my programs to run (like Windows).
Also, I had configured a Remote Client Startup (telnet) session for a
networked Unix host.  When the window came up, it flashed "not enough
memory" and promply closed.

Another interesting bit, in one of the Setup screens (Tune Performance) in
the Installation Guide it talks about a Virtual Memory setting, but my
Setup does not seem to have that option.

One more bit of info, the document says that DVX works with FTP PC/TCP
version 2.03 or 2.05 pl3 or above.  I have PC/TCP version 2.04 pl2.  It
seems to be running, but could that be causing my memory problems?  

Does anyone (successfully) use DVX and HyperDisk?

Help!
