rsh without a command uses rlogin, connecting to the rlogind on the
remote host. rsh with a command uses rsh, connecting to the rshd on the
remote host. Since rsh without a command works, the remote host must be
running rlogind. Since rsh with a command does not (apparently timing out
after 60 seconds?), the remote host probably is not running the rshd
daemon, or has it configured not to allow your local host to connect.

Either have the admin on the remote host run the rshd daemon, or
(preferably) use ssh (with the remote host running sshd).
