General network error. Check your network documentation

I've a merge replication over a ISDN router between two
SQL Server 2000 databases.
The job for synchronize always run at 0:00h every day.
Sometimes i'll get this errors messages:
The process could not make a generation at
the 'Subscriber'.
(Source: Merge Replication Provider (Agent); Error
number: -2147200994)
General network error. Check your network documentation.
(Source: MAILVXE (Data source); Error number: 11)
Communication link failure
(Source: MAILVXE (Data source); Error number: 0)
The merge process could not perform retention-based meta
data cleanup in database 'WinSGS'.
(Source: Merge Replication Provider (Agent); Error
number: -2147199467)
General network error. Check your network documentation.
(Source: MAILVXE (Data source); Error number: 11)
I've already set the agent profile for a slow link
connection, can someone help qith this?
These errors are likely to be transitory. Schedule your job to run every 10
minutes or have the job loop back to step one on failuer.
See if this clears the problem.

|||General Network Error often occurs when your CPU(s) are all pinned,
and the db won't accept any more connections.

|||my experience is that you get the general network error when there is a
network problem. When the server is pegged I normally get timeout error
messages.
I could be wrong here, are you quite sure about this?

|||I often get both. It depends on "how pegged" the CPU is. If its at
99%, there's usually enough CPU to obtain new connections. The
timeouts happen when the query itself is run. However, if it is
totally pegged (to the point where i can't even access the box), i get
a general network error.
