I am having the exact same problem! Everything seems to work fine once I do get connected, but today it has taken forever (1.5 minutes) between when I connect, and when I'm prompted for username, and then again before I'm prompted for password. The system in question that I'm using is running FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE, and up until today, everything was lightning quick! If anyone can help us here, it would be muchly appreciated.
