My Petium 120 is running FreeBSD 2.1. When I run the command netstat -r from 
the command line with user ppp running, it takes this command several minutes 
at best to complete. Why does it take so long? What is is doing that is taking
so much time(name lookup?)? Is there any way to improve the performance?
