I too have found this annoying problem with pcnfs 3.0.1. Usually
however the net doesn't hang but refuses to write any more
files (create/access errors).  I don't use clipper so can't help
you with the other questions but another thing to try is to
mount the network disk application as a root directory and not
being a subdirectory.  ie
instead of 
net use e: \\server\clipper\application  (or whatever you have)
try net use e: \\server\application

I have had problems withother software disappear by doing this.
