If I from my Linux box, envision.asiaconnect.com.my, in Malaysia do

telnet l2w204.medab.se

to a Linux box in Sweden, the connection takes about one minute or so.
FTP is the same, HTTP a lot faster.

But if I from that machine telnet or ftp back to the Malaysian host, the
connection is up in a second or two.

I can only explain this by it has something to do with reversed DNS
resolution, and my questions are...

a)  Does it? If not, what else could it be...
b) And in which network, Malaysia or Sweden?
