Could anyone please make suggestions.

I am running FreeBSD 2.1.7.1-RELEASE.
The computer is an 200mhz pro 256 mg. ram.
Ethernet card fxp0.
The machine is on a ds3. All it does is
server HTML pages - no cgi.
Here is the latest top screenshot

load averages:   0.00,  0.01,  0.16                    14:33:31
151 processes: 1 running, 150 sleeping
Cpu states:  0.8% user,  0.0% nice,  2.7% system,  1.2% interrupt, 95.3% idle
Mem: 27M Active, 2224K Inact, 22M Wired, 26M Cache, 6992K Buf, 176M Free
Swap: 141M Total, 64K Used, 141M Free

As you can see, there is plenty of mem, plenty of CPU.  

The problem is that when I telnet to this machine (from a machine on
a T1 line), it is extremely SLOW.
It will typically take 10 seconds for the login prompt and even
longer to check the password.  I have telneted to the machine, typed
a command and have waited over a minute before even a character will
be displayed.

I have a dozen other machines that sometimes do the same thing.
EVERYTHING looks perfect - yet the whole damn machine is extremely
slow.  

I would greatly appreciate any help with this problem.
