When I try to FTP in or out of my box, it works great until I try to
transfer a file or get a directory listing.  As soon as it needs to
open the data connection, I get a complaint from the 386bsd end that
it can't assign the port for the data stream.  Anyone else seen this?
Any ideas what's wrong?

I'm running 386bsd 0.1 w/ patchkit 0.2.2.  The net stuff is going
over a ppp link, if it matters.

Please respond via email, if there's interest I'll summarize.

Thanks,
