Not to discount your problems, but I've got 3 boxes used very heavily
that *aren't* seeing any problems (except for NFS bugs which I believe
David and John are aware of), so I'm trying to figure out what's
different about your setup vs. mine.

What kind of hardware, what kind of setup (NFS, routers, SLIP/PPP),
what kind of problems are these boxes running.

Obviously the boxes *must* be on somewhat of a loaded network if you're
running News. :)

Can you give more specific details, since w/out them it's just shooting
in the dark?
