And what operating system is the remote system running?  What
command line options have you started syslogd with?  Remember,
Linux and *BSD boxes, by default, only process syslog messages
locally.  To make them listen to UDP port 514, you need to
change the command line options.  Read the man pages for syslogd
on your system, compare it to the running command line viewable
with "ps auxwww" (or "ps -ef" on a System V-ish system), and see
if it's been told to listen.
