I suppose this thread's a bit old now, but for the benefit of anybody else who 
has this trouble, I found the problem.

The problem was not with the FC3 machine I was trying to connect into, it was 
my RH9 machine. I assumed that because it has always web browsed, collected 
email etc. without any trouble it could not be at fault. It was sending my 
commands to the FC3 machine but the firewall was blocking the replies. I've 
set the FC3 machine (using Firestarter) to be a trusted host, and now it 
works.

Sometimes the trouble is not with the equipment, it is actually caused by not 
realising that an assumption is being made.

Thanks to everybody who tried to help with this.
