It probably was only NS/VT, I don't remember the console having any
problems and I did't try any local DTC connections. I did wonder about all
the extra VTSERVER processes, but didn't see anything untoward in Glance
(not a Glance expert). Memory could be a problem, only have 96Mb!!!!
However, things seem to have improved, I reset the maximum number of
connections in NMMGR from 128 to 4096 (as suggested by Chris Boggs) and
last weekend I upgraded to pp3. One of the final steps for this was to
stream JCONFJOB.NET.SYS which I hadn't done previously after the network
changes. Anyway as far as I'm concerned response seems to be pretty much
back to normal.
