We continually get the error message "NFS server not responding", then after a second the next message appears telling us it is now working. Also at certain times the network just slows down to the point that scrolling in "vi" takes several seconds. I know the descriptions are pretty ethereal, but any general tuning tips or ideas would help. BTW, we are running SUNOS 3.5. cy {ames,decwrl}!killer!cy MaBell: 214.578.8837 Don't Panic.
