We've seen some problems up here in Canada with kernel MMU fault (F_ACCESS) on
machines running SVR3.2.2 and TCP/IP.  The problem is apparently fixed in the 
3.2.3 release of UNIX.  I don't know if this release applies to your 3B2/310
though.  Best bet is to call the hotline (like you say you're going to do 
anyways).  They should recognize it as a known problem.
