Peter; Sounds like the terminal itself is locking. Either a runaway process or the kernel is locking up. You should focus on the software running in the terminal - instead of the software on the server.
I would try using less swap space - say 8 or 16 MB. You say your ST320's have 22 MB RAM? Was that a typo? The only ones I have seen have either 32 MB or 64 MB. I'd be interested in hearing or your solution. Tom > I have a number of thin clients that work quite well most of the > time but they are in the habbit of freezing.
