Dear Folks, I have two linux installations in operation right now, uncustomized kernels, and no IPX or Appletalk or such burning up my peer-to-peer network cable. I find that, when I telnet or rlogin from one box to the other, in either direction, telnet can take at least a minute to bring up a login prompt. During this period I do not get any errors, and I can Ctrl-C to abort the connection attempt. When I am patient enough to wait for the connection to be established, I find that the session operates as quickly as one would want. Pinging is happening at a normal connection time, and I mounted NFS volumes in both directions lickety-split. I have seen this happen before, at an old place of work, but I never saw a solution to the problem there. Any ideas?
