Don't quote me on this, but I think tcpserver's ident check fails
immediately with a connection refused (no ident services) and times out with
a connection that hangs (improperly configured ident services, some firewall
side effects). If either of the latter was new to the equation, that might
do it. Questions to ask: is he running a machine that might be expected to
do ident (as opposed to a Wintel)? If so, does he run it or not run it?
And have there been any firewall changes between the two sites?

Beats the hell out of me ;>
