Actually, there's a patch for the file servers that makes them wait longer before timing out. If you haven't installed this, then you should, if you can somehow get a copy of it (it's called Lisp Patch, or something equally sensible). I think there's another service that will also increase the time out if it's installed (the communications service maybe? I'm not sure) so there may be alternatives. Kevin
