Over here with FreeBSD 3.0, gus pnp pro, and vat there is no delay upon
startup . My box is a PPRO 200Mhz so that may have something to do with.

{hasty} su
Password:
 # mrouted
 # exit
 # exit
{hasty} vat 224.0.0.1/4030
{hasty}

Again vat just came right up after a few minutes I started vat again
and there was no long delay upon startup.


	Cheers,
