I seem to remember our gateway was acting similar before we upgraded to the
1.4 release of the software.  It seemed to be related to the lack of file
service processes under Netware.  I added a larger hard disk to the network
server and the gateway ceased functioning all together, after upgrading the
software to the new version, I found out that they now used less file
service processes enabling it to work with the larger hard disk
requirements.  As a side light, we are moving from the gateway to FTP
Software's PCTCP product using packet drivers to gain both TCP/IP support
and Novell support off the same ethernet card.  I have found the 1.4
release to be much more stable.
