This problem is being worked on by both Apple Computer and Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) engineers. The problem has not yet been identified so there is no estimated date for a fix. The disconnect only seems to happen when there are high collisions on the Ethernet where a Power Macintosh is connected.
Until a fix is available, the work around is to use the AppleTalk-LAT Gateway. The Gateway must be configured on a 680x0 processor based Macintosh. See the PATHWORKS installation manual for installation and set-up details.
