Since my ISP upgraded to x2 56K I have been unable to ftp several sites (including ftp.debian.org) However I can ftp , for example, prep.ai.mit.edu .
The ISP's old 33.6 system is available, as before, using the old phone number. (x2 was installed on a new phone number) After a failed attempt at ftp, I can log out of my 52k connection, then log on using the old phone number, and ftp the same site and, only a couple minutes later ---it works! (but at 31.2 or slower) I have repeated this enough times to be convinced it is not a random failure. The x2 system requires a different login procedure which, with the help of reading a recent discussion on this list, I was able to get connected. The changes necessary were: changeing /etc/ppp.chatscript to end at CONNECT , the new phone number, and writing my user name & password in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets. I've been reading HOWTOs & man's, but haven't found the right clue. BTW http's work OK using Mosaic, netscape, or lynx. (I've also tried ftp using these -- with no sucess). Here's a typical failure: ~$ftp ftp.debian.org Connected to santanni.cc.gatech.edu. 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection I'm using Debian 1.3.1 which I upgraded from 1.2 using the cheapbytes CD. All hints will be appreciated. Is this something I screwed up, (probably) or the provider's problem, or - - -?
