You need a '.' at the end.

It really takes more than 20 minutes? If you said 2 minutes I would
suspect something related to DNS. In that case it may help to connect
to agent@REDACTED instead. (BTW, what OS & Erlang are you using?)

To get more info you could try:
  (setq debug-on-quit t)
and then press C-g to interrupt Emacs when it is stuck. Then it should
show a backtrace saying where it's getting blocked.

P.S. The latest version of Distel (with R10-compat) is kept in the Jungerl.
