Proof positive that SOMEONE at Oracle actually reads this newsgroup. I got a call from someone at Oracle yesterday offering his help with this problem. In short, the problem is being caused by running out of memory on the PC. With SQLPME, SQLTCP, PC-NFS tsr's and Telnet Manager loaded there just doesn't seem to be enough memory to go around. The solution was to get SQL*Net for Windows which I understand has gone into production. Our order is in! Thanks to whomever (didn't get to write down his name..) at Oracle for being nice enough to keep me from pulling my hair out, whatever there is left of it.
