It is expected behavior.

Earlier versions of the hub terminal servers (90TL) didn't respond to hub
polls correctly, so the hub loses track of the server.  This isn't a fatal
error, since the server still works and is still manageable through HUBwatch.

This was corrected in the newest DECserver software.  But that requires more
than 1 meg of memory in the server.  So, to run it in a 90TL, you need to 
upgrade your memory.

This is documented in the installation/configuration guide for HUBwatch,
a very nicely written document which customers should be encouraged to read.
