   I've found that (with mbbs 625 anyhow) that i can hit 64 megs max using   
   DOS 7.  Heres the contents of the autoexec.bat and config.sys:   
      
   @echo OFF   
   PROMPT $p$g   
   PATH C:\DOS;C:\BBSV6;C:\;C:\NC   
   SET TEMP=C:\TEMP   
   C:\DOS\SMARTDRV C 4096   
   c:\3c90xpd.com /I=0x78   
   cd \bbsv6   
   C:\BBSV6\BTRIEVE /p:2048   
   bbs go   
      
      
   DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS   
   DOS=HIGH,UMB   
   DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE ON   
   FILES=225   
   BUFFERS=40   
   LASTDRIVE=E
