For some months now, we have been experiencing problems in FTPing files from
any non-local machines. What typically happens is that an FTP process will hang
after transferring some data. This happens on both incoming and outgoing
transfers, and on UNIX, VMS, and PC machines. Sometimes connections will
hang after transferring as little as 3K; sometimes they last for 80 or more.

Needless to say it is all quite bothersome. Any ideas?
