hi gurus,
Many many thanX to all who responded. the list is very long.
everybody pointed out that it was a DNS (name resolution) issue. indeed it
was.
the host A entry was not there in the host database of host B at all where
as host C entry was there. so when C tried to login to B it gives the login
prompt very fast but not to A.
before giving a telnet session to any host the server tried to do a reverse
lookup and if it can't get the hosts address eventually it will give the
connection and thus it will be delayed.
thanX a lot again to all who responded. I added the host A to B's database
and its now working smoothly.
ThanX again.
