Basicly my problem was that I could easly telnet from one net to another,
but not the other direction. I experienced a long delay prior to getting
the login prompt.
Gustavo came up with this reply:

Basicly I am having a reverse look up problem as he suggested. Until
such time as that is fixed, I have just changed the order of the lookups
in /etc/svc.conf to use local, then yp, then bind.
Thanks to all.

the origianl question
List,
I am having periodic problems telneting into a couple of my machines (4.0E pk1).
When I telnet to them there is a very long delay (1 minute or more) before I get
to where I enter my user name.
I find the following in the logs after this happens
Jan 4 08:48:51 colud1f telnetd[9562]: ttloop: peer died: Operation would block
Jan 4 08:49:17 colud1f telnetd[10543]: ttloop: peer died: Operation would
block
Jan 4 08:49:39 colud1f telnetd[9689]: ttloop: peer died: Operation would block
Jan 4 08:49:51 colud1f telnetd[7388]: ttloop: peer died: Operation would block
Jan 4 08:59:13 colud1f telnetd[5646]: ttloop: peer died: Operation would block
