OK, I am officially stumped.  Here is the issue.

Server A Oracle 9.2.0.4 AIX 64 bit
Server B Oracle 8.1.4.7 AIX 64 bit

Take a powerbuilder based client app which connected to each database via
SQL*Net.  Occurs on Oracle clients for 8i and 9i.

Time to login to server A averages 30-50 seconds.

Time to login to server B average 3-10 seconds.

10046 trace shows most of the time is fetching a single cursor and waiting
on SQL*Net message from client.

FTP tests show I can move a 37MB file to server A in 10 secs, 3 secs on
server B.

A sql script run from client which does "select * from dba_tables where
table_name='blah'" and goes through all tables repeatedly runs in 1:11 secs
on server A and 1:25 secs on server B.  

These tests are showing that while a small network performance issues
exists, it is not big enough to account for the big differences we see in
log in time.  Repeat calls to the database over network which the selects
from dba_tables simulate does not show a huge performance hit, but for some
reason the PB app is hit big time.

I will include SQLNet trace summaries below also.  Any ideas?
