Kernel too big!

We thought we had this network thing figured out. Unfortunately, the IBM
PC architecture came up and bit us in the behind.
SCO TCP/IP works fine. SCO Xenix-Net works fine. Put them together in a
2.3 kernel and the kernel is too big to boot. Since the boot process runs
in real mode, you can't have more than 640K of code+data in your kernel --
or so it appears, anyway.
How can I boot a big kernel? Is there any way around this problem? Help!
