This sounds not like a firewall problem to me, but like a DNS problem. This is indicative of the machine which you are trying to telnet into trying to do a reverse DNS lookup on the client. Apparently there is not an entry which will alllow the host to do this, so after a minute it times out and just lets you conect. Do you have an internal DNS server?
