I've no idea whether this is related, but I've seen some very weird 
behaviour from the NetBSD ftp client when I try to use it over a ppp link 
and then through a firewall out into the internet.  During login the 
client can just hang, particularly when a large login message is being 
sent (such as the one on the NetBSD site).
