If this is the case, many (not all) machines you connect to will connect right away, but then the machine you connected to tries to do a reverse lookup (so that the hostname can be logged instead of the IP) and the long delay you see is the DNS timeout period. Another, but less likely cause, is problems with newer tcp compliance. See the /etc/sysconfig file and disable (NO) to tcp_extenions. have fun, rich
