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.

Regards,

Justin
