First, try posting in comp.os.netware.misc.  There are
dozens of CNEs and consultants there that are top notch. 
fido.novell is pretty slow.

And when you do they are going to need more info than you
have given here.  Disk subsystem description, stats from
MONITOR.NLM, amount of memory (type MEMORY on the server
console), probably more.
