Hi all,
I think I have narrowed the problems down to
the Debian machine and not the Mac OS X. I haven't
change the OS X machine in months but the Debian
machine is currently under constant change.
I've switched back to the Debian standard Xastir
version 1.8.2 and this still has the problem. I
did a "make uninstall" on the 1.9.2 version of Xastir,
which was installed in /usr/local while the 1.8.2 was
installed in /usr. I noticed that the 1.8.2 version works
fine until I turn on the server ports, then it goes into
molasses mode and takes 30 seconds to display a
pull-down menu.
I don't get any good data through a telnet connection
to the server ports regardless whether they are local
or remote to the Debian server.
When I compiled and installed the 1.9.2 version I
did not install any new libraries, I used the ones
that Debian installed for the 1.8.2 version. But now
the 1.8.2 version is screwed up.
<rant>
I hate dynamically linked libraries. If you are the only
one using a library, they work fine. But with a lot of
applications sharing them some other application can
fiddle with a library and blow up Xastir and it'll be hell
to find it.
At this point I think the easiest thing to do is to
re-install the whole box and start over.
I had a boss who once said:
"once you know how computers really work, you
really wonder how they work at all."
Having a degree in computer science helps,
mainly to know how futile this effort can be.

Did the server machine's firewall happen to get turned on somewhere
along the way?
Does the terminal where you start xastir offer any clues?
You can bypass xastir on the client by simply using telnet to connect
to the xastir server port - the data is printable.
First, on the xastir server, do "telnet localhost 2023" and see if any
data comes through (this will require that you're receiving data,
naturally). This test will tell you that the xastir server is really
serving data.
Next, go to the client machine and "telnet serverip 2023" and see if
you get any data there.
Not ideas, other than the firewall thing, but some basic
troubleshooting steps...
