Hmmm, That sounds reasonable, I will check, but I don't think iptables is
running/configured on there, just whatever RedHat 9.x does by default during
the install. Fits the symptoms though.

Don't think I described the problem clearly though initially:
* Home machine T tries to ssh over the 'net to machine SA - session hangs
* Machine T is behind a Linky firewall
* Machine SA is behind a Cisco ACL firewall
* Machine Q, also behind the same firewall as SA, ssh's to SA fine
* Once the Q to SA ssh session is active, T is able to ssh to SA fine
* Ending the Q to SA ssh session has no effect on the now up T to SA ssh
session
