I tried implementing MVS as generic RFC 1738 -- no attempt to interpret
the NLST output.  This successfully negotiated the CWD sequence, but
hung at the attempt to transfer a file.  I suspect I'm not getting the
secondary port connected correctly.  Maybe I'll try harder.

BTW, does anyone know an MVS anonymous FTP server I can test on?
