Basicly, if I try to open any application, I will have a 30 second delay between typing it in and actual execution. During all that time CPU is mostly idle, at least 85%+. Top shows no programs using extra resources. Even xterm takes 30+ seconds to open. Telnet/ftp the same. All this happens only when I am dialed up into my ISP. As soon as I poff, things go back to normal.
I recompiled a kernel a couple of times, that didnt do any good. What else can I do? Andrew
