Re: LANceGS Ethernet Card: First Look

[Matt Jensen <no@spam.com>]

What's so tough about implementing FTP using Marinetti?  (I'm not asking
for your "answer" here--I'd just like to know what the "question" was.)

The only thing I can see as being a problem would be the asynchronous
PORT (server-connects-to-client) stuff.  That's easily addressed using
PASV commands.
