John,  
What are you using for a modem pool?  NetWare Connect ver. 1 or 2?
Wanderlink? ...
If connect, what kind of server?  Dedicated or Non?

If your using Connect 1 or 2, try WIN2NCS versus NASI.EXE.

If you can, (depending on your applications)  try using the microsoft
shell or client32 instead of a loading your shell at bootup in DOS.
By the way, are you running NETX or VLM?

Is Crosstalk Windows or DOS based?

Don't try to give excuses for asking questions.  The reason this group
is here is for asking questions and getting answers or suggestions.
Regardless the complexity.  Besides, everyone has learned something at
some point and time that may be helpfull to another person later.  So
give and take.  Good luck.
