HELP!  Need hints (Xenix hangs with Digiboard)

I've got a problem you may be able to help me out with.  Equipment
configuration follows.  The problem is that our Xenix system hangs
every two-three weeks for no apparent reason.  I have to manually
reboot to clean up the filesystems.  Keyboard on the host locks up 
and although our 8 dial-in lines answer the incoming call, no login 
prompt.  Everything just seems to freeze.

I can't take out the Digiboard since the system is used online and
can't be off.

This has been ongoing for more than a year, and I've changed out:
Motherboard, Digiboard, Power Supply, VGA Card, Monitor and Hard 
drive (used to have a 100M Toshiba, same thing)

I've tried different memory (high and low) combinations on the Digiboard,
with no success (I/O port 0x320, Memory Address's of F00000 and D0000)

I'm running V4.6.0 on Digiboard software and standard Xenix drivers for 
the Archive.

DTK 80386 at 25Mhz with 64K cache, 4M Ram
330M Imprimus EDSI, 1.2M Floppy
PC/Xe Digiboard 8 Port Serial I/O (7 ea PM2400SA Practical Perhipherals)
                                  (1 ea T2500 Telebit Trailblazer)
Archive 60M Tape Drive
Relisys VGA with ATI WonderCard
NO printer
