Pine, the email client? BitchX, has something to do with IRC? Classically when a network application takes a long time to start its doing DNS lookups that are failing, timing out, rolling over to your next DNS server, etc. About 90 seconds per timeout. What do you have in /etc/resolv.conf? What is your hostname and how is it defined in /etc/hosts and/or the DNS server? If its DNS, then its most likely the apps are looking up the hostname to get your IP address(es). Else they are looking up servers to connect to. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
