Now have a bit more on this and having a macro defined in .netrc to 
set idle to 30 seconds seems to cause connection to be dropped after 
that timeout for ftp from commandline but not for pkg_add. I can't 
find any method to set this for make or pkg_add.

This is on i386 NetBSD 3.0.

Problem seems to be lack of a message after the '221-'.
