Wrong.  The Windows/Mac machines don't run anything on port 113, this is
true.  But they can and do respond with a "Connection Refused" response to
hits on that port.  The sendmail server gets this response and continues on
w/ the connection w/o delay.  The problem w/ computers behind NAT is the
sendmail server gets NO response back,  the ident connection request goes
to the bit bucket on the Pipeline.
