Chuckle, so you're running SMB.. I never had a lot of joy with the MS client
so I went with NFS.

I believe DESQview doesn't require QEMM specifically, but does require some
kind of memory manager, and in every case I've seen, DV came with QEMM making
it the most likely candidate.  Pretty sure you needed a 386 also, so even if
you had QRAM or similar for a 286 it wouldn't run.
