   Hi everyone,

      I am running term 1.0.8 on my NetBSD machine and connecting to a 
      sun machine at school.  (If you are not familiar with term it is
      a suite of utilities that allows you to do multiplexed sessions
      across a modem, and even localy display X clients from a remote
      machine across a modem, all without a slip connection)

      I would like to use the tredir utility to redirect some arbitrary
      ports on the remote machine to my ftp port (21).  The connecttion
      works gret but when I try to do anything that needs the ftp-data
      port it bombs out?  My machine is camelot, remote machine is rucs2...

      connected to rucs2 ports 9000 (camelots port 21)

      230 User brad logged in.
      ftp> dir
      200 PORT command successful.
      425 Can't build data connection: No route to host.
      ftp> 

      Thats what I get back.

      Being that I dont realy know the details of how ftp does it's thing,
      anyone know how I could get around this?

      Telnet works great though...

      rucs2% tredir 8000 23  
      Redirecting 8000 to 23
      rucs2% telnet rucs2 8000
      Trying 137.45.64.100 ...
      Connected to rucs2.
      Escape character is '^]'.

         NetBSD (camelot) (ttyp4)

      login: 

      Any help would be great.
