For me, it seems to be MacOS related.

The first time I tried netatalk (back in '94 or '95) I had the same random
timeouts, sometimes the Macs even locked up. After upgrading MacOS to
AFAIK 7.6.1 (with Open Transport) these problems went away.
At my current company we also have a couple of Macs with Systems as old as
7.6.1, updated with a TCP/IP capable AppleShare Client, and they work
well with netatalk (Linux 2.0.37pre-something on Intel, Tulip cards).
If it's not your network card in the server, try to upgrade MacOS, and
then look for the latest compatible Open Transport and AppleShare Client
installers on Apple's website.
Hope, this helps,
Regards,
