Sorry can't see anything blatently obvious as the cause from the above. So
WinFax4 is an OS/2 app? If it's WIN, lose it. WIN apps come under the DOS
app label, though much worse then a normal DOS app.

I've just moved my WARP V4 server to PROTECTONLY=Yes.  Yes!!.. feel much
better now :)

Tried it without the DOS app(s)? and at 133mhz instead of 160mhz? DOS apps
can often pull 100% cpu load, sometimes cause taskswitch timing problems.
Overspeeding CPU's can cause problems that are not immediately obvious.
Note that overspeeding the CPU may have increased your ISA/VLB/PCI bus
speed, leading to obscure card problems.

Regards.
