>>>TOO FUNNY! Yes, I have fixed memo fields on a Novell Network and I screamed and cried until they put everything on a Windows Server.

Other possible causes that we had:
- secretary's high heels snag on the cable
- cables too close to the cables powering some 12KW motor (fixed by moving cables)
- welding too close to the cables (fried four network cards)
- cable connecting two buildings hung high enough for any truck to pass under, except one truck
- CEO asking for the cables to be run through his window frame, and the masons just drilled two holes, saw that the BNCs were too thick for these holes, cut them off
- a bored secretary who'd run a pin through the coax on fridays, when she wanted to get off earlier (was caught eventually, around tenth time - story from a friend, not mine)
- an IT liaison officer unplugging the patch cable from her office PC into her laptop and back, without exiting the app in either case
- x-ray machines in a polyclinic (traced this down and moved the cables away)
- some other machines in a medical lab (untraceable, occurred few times a week)

I think I still forgot one. At least.
