something like that.  But trying with FTP_PASSIVE set, I still cannot
connect.   There was a report related to this several months ago, iirc
lynx did not connect where ncftp did (ncftp assumed passive mode).  I've
seen some other report (iirc on Debian) to the effect that lynx is not
working properly for some odd case of very short timeout.  That may be
related.
