It goes much deeper than just not being able to use 'ls'. Although the 
system is open for anonymous ftp, it appears it can't handle the business.
I have been able to get a few files from there, but out of 10 times trying
I have only Logged off once myself. Usually I seem to be lucky to stay on
for over 5 minutes.

Ux1 apparently has a great system, rarely had any problems there. I'm 
sending money to Mike Schwager tonight to keep this system with new fish.
I hope many of also do.
