Yes, I've noticed this too. I have two systems connected by cheap ethernet cards, and a PPP link out to the big wide world. If I try to telnet from the secondary box to my Linux box and the PPP link isn't up, it takes 2 minutes easily for the connection to go through. If PPP is up, it's nice and fast. This behavior started when I installed bind as a caching nameserver, and I suspect it would ceace if I removed it. --Galen -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
