NETbios on a token-ring system is very flaky to program for, I agree.  I had a
similar 'mysterious' problem where a host program sent/received various types &
sizes of messages to a number of client programs via sessions, with timer 
messages sent via datagram.  The host program would randomly hang upon receipt
of one type of message, often working perfectly for 5-10 minutes before hanging.ng.
This message is neither the smallest nor largest message, so no buffer overflow
problems.  The solution - I implemented this specific message in datagram, an
now it works perfectly.  

I'm not sure if you're doing this already, or not - but you may want to try
posting one or more receives ahead of time.  I generally do this as a rule - 
it tends to avoid blocking and improve throughput.  (It doesn't work well under 
Windows/386 - any program using posted netbios commands will receive a "Not
enough NCBs" error returned from the post command.)  I have generally excellent
success otherwise.
