  | Ah.  This is a mess.  The interaction with lukemftp looks like this:
  | 
  | ftp> ls
  | 500 Unknown command.
  | 227 Entering Passive Mode (129,128,5,190,169,64)

  | Hi Luke, maybe this can be fixed in lukemftp?

Please try the latest version -- it has been renamed to tnftp -- which
can be found at:
        ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/tnftp/tnftp-20050103.tar.gz
(PGP signature

)

Thanks,
Luke.
