I have two tcpserver processes running, one with -v -p -x switches and the
other with -H -R. I don't see -l.

This question comes up every three minutes or so on this list. The reason
this
happens is that the you're waiting for either a DNS or an ident request to
time
out.
To solve your problem, investigate the -R, -H, and -l (that's dash ell)
options
to tcpserver (assuming you're using tcpserver, which, if you're not, you
should
be). If it's a DNS request that's timing out, you might also investigate the
cause of the DNS failure.
