[c-nsp] PIX, PAT and SSH - not working

[Peder at NetworkOblivion]

Do a "show timeout".  My guess is that maybe your timeout is set really 
low and the server you are connecting to is doing an IDENT query (which 
is blocked by the PIX) and then the connection times out before the 
server is finally ready.
