Thank you for your response.  However this doesn't seem to be it.  I would
think that if the reverse lookup was the problem, it would only be a problem
while waiting for the initial login prompt and not the pass word prompt,
correct?  I don't know what's going on here as it used to work just fine and
now the delays.  Obviously something has changed but I don't have any idea
what that is because I haven't added anything that I recall.

Thanks,

Drew
