I am running 386bsd with a wd8003 ethernet card. Telnet works fine,
and people can connect to me with no problem.  But when more than 4 people
try to connect at once, it won't let any more connections in.

I can still ftp to it, but it won't allow another Telnet session.
Is this a hardware limitiation of the wd8003 board, or is it 386bsd.
And, most importantly, ia there a fix??

Also - I think this is a known problem, but when someone is doing something
that's disk intensive ( compiling, or untarring a file ), and someone
else tries to do a disk operation ( ls ) it causes the system to hang, 
requiring a reboot to fix it.  Is there a fix for this?
