	Hey everyone, I have a system that's just starting out, it
only has four current users.  It's running 2.1.6-Release on a 486DX33
with 8MB of ram.  The logins on POP, FTP, and Telnet are all REALLY
slow (most programs time them out).  Any idea why this could be?  I
suspect the CPU, while my fellow "administrators" think it's the ram.
Any ideas?  Thanks for any help.
