Oracle on A/UX problem

We are developing a networked database using Oracle 6.0 running on an Apple A/UX (Mac IIci) platform over a mixed EtherNet and LocalTalk network. The user interface is being developed in HyperCard, which is talking to the A/UX server via SQL*NET. We are using MacTCP 1.1. We have been experiencing a very annoying problem in which the workstation tends to lock up when sending a query to the Oracle server, seemingly at random. The only ways to recover are -1- to hit the programmer's restart button on the mac workstation, or -2- to telnet into the A/UX server and kill the process being run, releasing the workstation and allowing a normal shutdown.

Is there anyone with experience/expertise in this particular setup (A/UX, Oracle, SQL*NET, Hyper*SQL) who has an idea on what may be going on? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
