I have been getting slow response from machines on my LAN when I
connect to it from a remote machine. I use ppp to connect to one
machine on the LAN and responses from it are what you would expect for
a 28.8 connection, other machines on the LAN seem much slower.  I
logged the routing activity and to me there do not seem to be any
direct routes between the LAN machines.  Should this be what is
expected?  Can I make a static route for them? How? How about to
virtual HTTP servers on the other machines?

Here is the routing log from boot to a ppp connection and then using
the ppp connection to connect to viritual http on a local machine.

Does this log indicate that all packets are being sent to the default
router (207.86.0.157)?

Thanks for any enlightenment
