I am running 2.4.18 on an Ultra 10 and have not experienced this problem on
the happymeal NIC, nor on the added 3c59x and Intel EEPro/100 cards.  Is
this only for connections out from the machine, or in to it as well?  Are
you expereincing delays with things other than ssh?  I know that it takes my
box 5 to 10 seconds to negotiate a ssh link when I ssh in or out (probably
the math involved in the key exchange), but this delay doesn't affect any
other network activity.

I'm not running NFS, but I am running AFS, http, NAT/router, MySQL, etc, and
haven't found any delays.

Is it possible you're experiencing a DNS-related problem?  Is the delay
nearly exactly 30 or 60 seconds?
