   ok so if anyone is interested, after several reinstalls, different hw and   
   sw components i found the problem, and it was.....tadaaam:::   
      
   BINKD!   
      
   this version randomly freezes OS/2 Warp 4.52 server:   
      
   "Binkd 1.1a-112 (Jan 31 2021 21:06:45/OS2)    
   Compilation flags: gcc (klibc), zlib, bzlib2, https, ntlm, amiga_4d_outbound,   
   bw lim. "   
      
   so i've reverted to binkd/0.9.2 and as you can see my tagline, now it is   
   freeeeeakin' awesome! :)
