It also varied depending on what machine I tried to telnet or ftp from. The one static computer in the group was always fast. Then I saw this message tonight and something clicked. I had seen comments about reverse DNS before and they didn't mean anything until tonight when I read this message. I dropped DHCP on the workstations and went static. The login to FreeBSD from the NT workstation was just as fast as from the NT server. I can telnet and ftp to all of the servers from both Unix and NT.
