We're seeing some of this with PCNFS 3.01 and NI5210 cards, both with the
Micom supplied PCNFS driver and the Clarkson packet driver + pktd.sys.
Sometimes changing the shared memory address on the card helps, sometimes not.
If anyone has a definitive fix, I'd be most grateful.  This is happening
under DOS 3.3, haven't tried 4.x yet.  Since PCs are single tasking, I find
the fact that this usually occurs only after being idle for a while really odd.
