(PM) PM25's Sponteously Rebooting

I continue to have a problem with our PM25's sponteously rebooting
several times a day.

All of our Portmasters have 16 MB memory (It was easier to find 4 MB
sticks than 1 MB) and running ComOS 3.7.2.

Their are a total of 5 Portmasters in this ethernet segment; (4)
PM25's and (1) PM2Ei-10 and we are running OSPF.

This problem began shortly after we installed the PM2Ei, and it ceases
when the unit is either disconnected or shut off. The PM2 never
reboots, only the PM25's.

The frequency of reboots seems to also correlate to the number of
connections on a PM25, the more users the more likely that it will
reboot.

Livingston at one time suggested that it might be a problem with
excessive collisions on the ethernet segment, however, after a lot of
work etc. collisions are miniscule, < .01%.

Anyone have any ideas about what might be happening? Solutions?
Livingston seems to be stumped.

Thanks
Noel
