I used to think it was a loose connection problem that periodically
caused the Netware server to crash (IBM PS/2 Model 80).  So
I tightened all the connectors up and no problems, I thought.

Periodically the clients (IBM PS/2 Model 70's) go 'dead' and can't
locate the server any longer.  The server's screen will show
  Running MUXPRC
or something similar and it says to power down the system?!@!@
Then we have to reboot the clients.  What a pain...

(Today after I reboot the server it said:
    FAT location 1041 used
    but file does not exist. Do you want to mark...y/n
I said n??)

With the above exception, the server always comes back up with no
problems ??? I don't understand.

Has anyone seen this?  Where ,..., what have you done to rectify the
situation?
