Fast a20 support??

WE ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH SOME NEW 386SX MACHINES ON OUR NETWORK.
THEY REBOOT THEMSELVES PERIODICALLY OR LIGHT UP ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE
KEYBOARD JUST FOR FUN.

WE TALKED TO THE NETWORK VENDOR AND THEY SAID THAT SOME VENDORS ARE NOT
PROVIDING "FAST A20" KEYBOARD SUPPORT IN THEIR SX BOXES AND THE NETWORK
SOFTWARE REQUIRES THIS TO OPERATE IN PROTECTED MODE.

HAS ANYBODY HEARD THE TERM "FAST A20" SUPPORT OR CAN TELL US WHAT THIS
IS?

(sorry didn't mean to shout)

We are also told that this problem will manifest itself on the sx box with
OS/2 running applications in the DOS compatibility box.

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
