Slowdown

Hi,

I'm having a slight problem with our network. Our server is a DEC 3000 Model
800S running OSF 3.2. It is serving via NFS our PC network which mounting
drives using PC/TCP 3.1. Our pc's are diskless (I know - slow! But security
requires the machines to be diskless). It seems that after the execution of any
of my Windows programs (like WordPerfect or even Notepad) on the pc's, the pc's
seem to pause for a few seconds before continuing on to the next application.
On a pentium pc, just a slight pause of a couple of seconds, however on a 386
it's painfully noticeable. I'm including a copy of my pctcp.ini file for
reference.

Was wondering if anyone else had this problem with NFS mounted drives to a PC
from a Digital UNIX machine?

Thanks,
Sheila
