	When I used to work for Unisys, we had similar problems
using Altos 986 family CPU's and their worknet.  The problems that
we had were that the machine that one was talking to throught the
network would get overloaded, and the network server would get
swapped out to disk, packets requesting information would time,
out causing worknet to eventually fail.  

	One potential option that you have, that might solve your
problem is to add additional memory to your machines or
ensuring that your server never gets swapped out by setting the
sticky bit on it.

	Good luck, our final solution was to move to more powerfull
machines!
