OK,maybe, just MAYBE I got saved by the bell on this
one.
As a last ditch attempt I went to Pete Norloff's BBS
(thank foresight for guys like Pete) and downloaded
AFSOSYS.ZIP from there.
It claims to be a fix for the AFINET(K) crash.
I also found out during my Google research that IBM
indeed put out at least half a dozen different fix
paks for this, and a few actually introduced NEW
errors, instead of fixing them (unitialized vars and
so on).
So I was right that IBM screwed this one up.
But luckily there seem to be some "unofficial" fix
paks and I just had to get to get the right one.
THE ONE ON HOBBES "NEWSTACK.ZIP" IS NOT IT!!!

Now whatever mix of drivers is in Pete's package, I
have by now been able to run the same mix of DFS disk
restore, wget GigaByte download and heavy window
browsing.

When those crashes normally happen, I have ~20K/s
throughput or more on the wget connection and then the
same amount on the others.

So far nothing has happened, so I HOPE this time I got
the right package.

Knock on wood...
