What BitFling does is remote the API from commport.py.  That means
that timeouts which are handled inside those methods are then
on the remote end (eg if it takes 20 seconds to send the request
and the timeout is 3 seconds, the 3 second counter starts on
the remote end).

Consequently I would right thing to happen for all existing code.
The thing that will go wrong is if you watch the clock on the BitPim
end.

As you surmise it is probably firewall.  Try doing a telnet to the
port.
