Hi,
   I know some unix but not much about networking. My telnet connections
from University of Cincinnati to Fermilab,chicago are very slow. I used
traceroute to find the path of my IP packets. They seem to go through 19 hops
to go to Fermilab and took about 150ms for the roundtrip.
   But the roundtrip time from Cincinnati to Ohio-state in Columbus is about
11ms and from there to Fermilab is only another 35ms. What I found was that
my default routes take a different path. I used traceroute and forced the
packets to go through a route in Columbus and found that path is much faster.
   Now the problem is that I don't know how I could set the default path
from Cincinnati to Fermilab, the way I want to.

   By the way I am uning a SUN-ELC. I greatly appreciate any help I could get.
