Here's a sort of separate ftp issue with BL3. It actually applies to
newer versions of links (0.98, for example) I've used as well. Here is
the problem: some ftp sites are not accessible using links. For example,
go to www.slackware.org with links, scroll down to the Slackware 3.5 entry
toward the bottom of the page and try to follow the link for the ftp
server. When I do this I get "Error: FTP Port command failed." This does
not happen trying to follow all ftp links, but it does happen with
frustrating frequency. Am I doing something wrong? If, indeed, links
0.90 as included in BL3 (as well as maybe later versions of links, it
seems) cannot access many ftp sites, doesn't this seems like a real
shortcoming. Aren't BL users expected to update and/or tweak their
systems primarily via downloads from ftp sites?
