Could someone tell me what the SPTMAP kernel parameter is
used for in Openserver 5.0

  Release Supplement 5.0.0d is installed
  Networking Supplement 1.00 is installed

  Running on a Tricord Server with 4 CPUs and 392 MB RAM

You can tune SPTMAP using configure(ADM).  The structure it controls is
small; it won't cost much memory to increase it.  That will fix the
problem if the driver has a high, static memory need.  If you've got a
driver bug where it keeps allocating and deleting memory forever in a
fashion that fragments the map, raising SPTMAP will only delay the
problem.

To pursue this in more detail, you'd need to go to the vendors of your
various drivers.
