Steven suggested iptrace to see exactly where it hangs up, and I'll take
his advice soon as I get an hour.

I'm now on Hughes Satellite. There is a LinkSys router with my machine
and two WinXP machines, and the WinXP machines don't hang. It's
possible that my particular LinkSys port is blocked or something. Do
you have some ftp site suggestions so I can do more testing?

Hmm. Yes, I just tried with

telnet -p 21 hobbes.nmsu.edu

and it works fine. I can also get in with ftp.exe (from Warp 4 FP 10).
I haven't tried ftp using the browser yet.

I don't think so. The two WinXP machines can both get in and "dir".

Where you been?
