I've just had a customer start a memory dump on a 9x9 system with (I
think)
3GB of memory, and I'm wondering how long it's going to take.  The dump
is
going to DDS, and the machine had essentially no users on at the time
that
the network went totally out to lunch.

Anyone have a guess at how long the dump is going to take?  I'm hoping
less
than a couple hours.

I recently had to do a memory dump on a system with almost no one on it.  A
995-500 with 2GB of memory and 112GB of disc on 7.0.  It dumped in only 15
minutes to a DDS3.  It is the amount of disc in use, not the memory that
takes the time.  Based on your description of a network that went on the
blink, I'd say that you have a multi-processor system and were trying some
:NETCONTROL command that then hung the network.  I've been battling this
problem since I went on 7.0 in December, with no fix from HP yet.  Only
solution is a reboot.
