I'm still running DR-DOS 7.03 on several machines for JNOS Packet Radio and
I use JNOS as for several servers.
DR-DOS has a version of QEMM build in the EMM.
I started, obviously, with M$ DOS 5.0 as supplied with the computer and have
used that with QEMM 6 I think it was, but reasonably quicly moved to DR-DOS.
I have a PC DOS copy, but I definitely prefer DR-DOS.

You might also check out FreeDOS.
Is is supposed and indeed seems to be a very powerfull DOS, but I only have
been playing with it for a moment. It seems it needs somewhat of a learning
curve, at least that was my impression as I did get a bit of a Linux
commandline version install when I did install it on a test machine that I
basically did not look at since due to lack of time.
