I seem to recall seeing a message about this problem a short while back,
but I must have neglected to save it. So, can anyone please help?

I'm using SunOS 4.1.2 and the (in)famous ppp-pl6. I have followed
Karl's directions for setting up the routes and such.

After I have fired up the PPP connection, I attempt to open a new
window in sunview on the client machine (i.e., my machine at home).

It takes over a minute for the new window to appear! (it ought to
appear in about 5 seconds or less).

here's the routing table at the time, in case that's relevant:
(wd8oml is the home machine, gw is the machine at work)

What have I overlooked??

Thanks,
