Is there a Token Ring expert with the answer to this problem?

We suffer repeatedly from a problem where a local IBM bridge will
apparently freeze - accept no keyboard input.  Users on the attached LAN
who were connected to their server before this happened notice no problem;
users trying to connect afterward get "Error opening Token Ring";
users trying to connect across the bridge from another LAN also notice
no problem. Re-booting the bridge fixes the problem.

The bridges run IBM Bridge program version 2; they're set up for 4k frames.
They also often show the "bridge congestion, analysis data lost" every few
seconds - unless we re-boot them then the message doesn't appear.

All answers much appreciated.

Richard
