I can hazard a guess; I'll bet all your win95 clients have not had
all the MS updates (TCP/IP, network redirector, etc). Maybe some
are even win95a (pre-OSR/2). You should probably apply all the
currrent updates for OSR/2 networking stuff, and then apply the
same reg tweaks (TCP/IP stuff - MaxMTU, RWIN, etc) to all the
clients. Then you *may* get the same behavior...
For update info, links, etc, see:

The OSR/2 FAQ is at:

and some TCP/IP DUN tips can be found at:

There's a nice TCP/IP reg-tweaking tool at:

Hope this helps, Steve
