The problem is, the ports DO respond, you can telnet for example to port 
25, and it connects...but the daemon does not respond...you can input 
text you will get nothing back, and unless you ^], break, the telnet 
session it will stay hung and connected indefinitely.  It's these sort 
of hangs I'm hoping Hobbit can sense and timeout on.  Unfortunately the 
only way for me to test it, is for a machine to lock up in that manner, 
and although it happens every now and then, I cannot reproduce it at will.
