The one at >204.152.184.73 (freebsd.isc.org) doesn't. Ok so we are now agreed that the timing for the machine to which I connected is set at 15 seconds? dns returns 62.243.72.50 so that machine is the first contact. Surely it is not intended to be aset so that manually logins are virtually impossible.. I do not see anything in your reference to indicate such a goal. Is there any reason why the timimg on that machine cannot be adjusted so that it is the same as the machine you tested? If it is a minute or more that would be reasonable but 15 seconds is far too short for anyone at the keyboard who is not a keyboard racing greyhound!! :-) david -- 40 yrs navigating and computing in blue waters.
