Slow login using dtterm

I have an F80 running 5.2. I usually connect to it from my PC using Exceed
to open up a dtterm session.

Just recently it's started to take a very long time to connect. I enter my
login details and they get accepted but then it's a couple of minutes until
the dtterm window opens on my PC.

I have an identical machine, sitting just a meter or two away from it which
doesn't have this problem.

The system doesn't seem to be especially busy. Tracroute is identical for
the two machines. Ping response times are similar. Name resolution is
configured similarly and is working correctly.

A simple telnet doesn't have the same problem. If I try to open another
dtterm from the command line, having already logged in this takes ages, too.

Where might I find the problem? Any logs which might be useful?
