We're running 2.1R with direct net access.  There seems to be a problem 
telnetting and ftping *out* of the machine, but not *into* the machine.

ftping out usually results in an immediate "connected" message, followed 
by a wait of 30 seconds to 3 minutes before the login banner and login 
prompt are displayed.  After this, there seems to be no problems, 
although the transfer rate seems a little slow.

On telnets out, the same sort of behavior.  There is an immediate 
"connect", but often that's all.  The login prompt is *never* displayed.

The situation gets weirder when you look at the local network.  ftp/telnet to
machines on the local net are fine.  And telnet/ftp to the outside world from
*those* machines is fine. So there seems to be something about this one 
machine talking to the rest of the world that's fouled up.

The machine is also a web server.  HTTP traffic zooms right along, no
trouble/delays in either directions, except when using lynx from the command
line to access other servers.  Here, occasionally (but not always) a web 
site will load until the last few bytes, then stall for a *long* time. 

Help!  What do I even *look* at?

Cliff
