[ale] slow ftp/telnet response

[Jeff Hubbs]

Les -

I believe this is because the target box cannot resolve the IP address of
the telnetting/ftping box to a name.  I don't quite understand why it should
care, but care it does.  Implement DNS, WINS via Samba, or even appropriate
/etc/hosts files and the problem should go away.
