No, I hadn't even heard of it -- I'll have to scold the local IBM rep. 

BTW, I'm not using FTP's packet drivers.  Rather I _was_ using the Clarkson
packet drivers with NCSA telnet 2.3betas, and was having excellent luck -- 
until we switched to IBM LAN Server.  Now we're relegated back to the old 
IBM DOS TCP/IP suite.  (Yecchh! :-)
