We had difficulties, where I work, with SCO TCP/IP failing in what may
be related.  If the SO_LINGER option was not set on a TCP/IP connection,
sometimes it worked, most of the time it lost a _lot_ of stuff when the
connection was closed.  It seems that this bug has been fixed in TCP/IP
Runtime 1.0.1h.

The other suggestions that have been made don't quite jibe with my experiences
with Wyse 386s running 3C501s.  However, getting your vendors involved is
surely an excellent idea.
