I'm not using IE.  Just good old unix command line ftp from Mac OS X.  It sure
used to work, but hasn't for a while now.  It doesn't work from my work either,
but I can't traceroute from there because it's behind a firewall and going
through an ftp relay.  At home though, I get:

% traceroute ftp.cis.uab.edu

14  * * *
15  * * *
etc...

Interestingly, if I do the traceroute from a windows machine, some of the time
I'll get the same behaviour as above, and sometimes at hop 12 I'll get

12 * pos3-2.uab.gw.deltacom.net [207.230.79.2]  reports: Destination net
unreachable.

It does seem that I can reach the machine in certain ways (for example, "sftp
anonymous@ftp.cis.uab.edu" seems to connect?, but will tell me permission denied
when I type an email password.  It won't return pings.  Regular ftp just hangs:

% ftp ftp.cis.uab.edu
Connected to juniper.cis.uab.edu.

... and then nothing.

I'm stumped.
