I am using two model 340's that were separetly configured. They are connected
to the network via thin ethernet lines. In the same environment we also have
a 320H machine. There are 6-8 X-stations tied to these machines. They are all
at 3.2.2 or higher level.

On both of the 340s while typing in a window we get pauses of the blip while
one keeps typing. Then the buffer is suddenly flushed. I have only seen this
with the X-stations but someone told me that it also happens on the console.
It is very annoying. I have a 320H which is working perfectly. It almost
behaves like packets being dropped during the transmission. I noticed that
320 has the Hi Perf ethernet adapter at ros level 28, whereas the 340's have
something called the standard ethernet adapter. The lscfg -v -l ent0 command
does not produce anything but the title line on the 340s whereas it
produced detailed info like ros, fru, serial number etc on the 320.

Is anyone aware of such problems or solutions?
