Yes, I've noticed this too. I have two systems connected by cheap
ethernet cards, and a PPP link out to the big wide world. If I try to
telnet from the secondary box to my Linux box and the PPP link isn't up,
it takes 2 minutes easily for the connection to go through. If PPP is
up, it's nice and fast. This behavior started when I installed bind as
a caching nameserver, and I suspect it would ceace if I removed it.
