I'm not so sure it was "network" saturation as "server" saturation. At the ¨time we used to retire the oldest PC to the server role. I think at this ¨stage the server was struggling to process packets, but it was also working ¨as a router for both dialup and eventually ADSL.  The file copying issue was ¨the only one that ever killed everything. Eventually it "the server" started ¨throwing errors and locking the card up with overflow back to back writes to ¨the card, whatever it was... but either way I think you're right even if the ¨card/server wasn't keeping up TR would still release it.
