I have a problem similar to Ruben's, although I'm sure the underlying 
factors are quite different.

A client has a network consisting of a couple of PowerMac 7300 machines, 
an old PowerComputing clone, and occasionally a G3 PowerBook, all 
connewcted through by Ethernet through an ISDN router.

One of the 7300s has been suffering from frequent intermittent 20-30 
second pauses since the beginning of the year. I have done all the 
standard diagnostics, up to and including a clean install of MacOS 8.6, 
but even without loading back 3rd party extensions the pauses continue. 
I strongly suspect it has to do with the network, but the other two 
machines are not suffering from the same problems.

Booting from a CD seems to stop the problem, so it definitely appears to 
be OS-related. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
