Hrm. I think I have one of those somewhere around here...

How much did you pay? (That's a quality aging machine. Hopefully,
you made off with it for less than it ought to be worth. :^>)

Sure.

If you'd rather, though, download pkgsrc
(ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages, maybe?) and build locally.
(This won't exactly be *fast* on a 68k mind you, especially with its
aging SCSI hardware.)

It would be necessary to know a little more about your networking
situation in order to decipher what's wrong here.

Can you ping from the inside outside? Is there a firewall between
your machine and the outside world? Is it proxying ftp? Are you
insisting on active ftp or accepting passive?
