Am running Win3.11 on my 286 right now. With trumpet winsock you can even run early telnet clients on it (one of which which I am using to write this message).

No sure how much XMS you need as a minimum to make this work but I've got 10Mb total ram in this thing (so 9mb XMS) and it works just fine.... if a little slowly at time.

I'd say it's usable (if you can find software that doesn't require a 386) but a bit slow.

I have no idea if win 3.11 will use EMS. I suspect not, but I'm not sure.

.... Drop your CARRIER - we have got you surrounded!!!
