NETINIT shouldn't affect stability but will most likely alleviate some connection problems. It should be used when connecting to ORACLE (local or remote) from MS Windows using the DOS SQL*Net drivers. The DOS SQL*Net drivers need to allocate the connection context from the lower 640K. Windows,TSR's, etc can also use this 640K. NETINIT will preallocate connections for you depending on the value of the config vars WIN_LOCAL_SESSIONS and WIN_REMOTE_SESSIONS. LOCAL is for local connections and REMOTE is for remote sessions. Basically, how many concurrent sessions do you need.
