Give us a new "route" and "route -n" output and indicate precisely where the
former's the delay occurs. What is st21s? It's unknown from here and from your
message headers, you are on a dialup. The link is up when you are issuing the
route command, right?

Where did you get those scripts? None of mine have the metric arg on the route
commands... so if you look closer, you'll probably find you have other route
commands in these files without "metric" which would explain the duplicate
routes. Send me a copy of these scripts; I'm curious...
