Long time waiting for login prompt with telnet

[Taso Hatzi]

Has anyone else noticed that it can take a minute or so to
get the login prompt when telneting to a linux host?

The problem isn't network congestion because the session
runs satisfactorily after loging in.

It's not DNS either because it's just as slow whether
one uses hostname or IP address.

The login prompt from a CISCO router on the same occurs
promptly - but it runs IOS.
The lag seems to be due entirley to Linux - kernels are
from the 2.2.x series.
