If you send a request to a web service, and for some reason that request

FaultEvent wouldn't fire in this case, because there are no known faults
yet. Perhaps, people employ some timeout functionality on their remote
listeners?

Do you use a URLRequest/URLLoader to place your request? I think if you
listen for an IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, one gets raised if the request times
out at the HTTP level. If the request gets to the server but the server just
takes too long to respond, then I think you'll have to add some sort of
timer.
