Merge agent properties

I'm trying to troubleshoot a merge replication with a single pull
subscription on a remote server. We have a merge agent that is staying in the
retrying status. The intiial problem appears to be a query timeout, which
we've changed.
We can right click and see history and modify agent profiles. We can't,
however, stopr or start the agent or see the agent properties. We have
terminal serviced into the box.
Any ideas beyond recreating the subscription?
Is this subscriber from an ActiveX script or from Windows Synchronization
Manager? You can't modify the properties of agents from these subscriptions.
