Perhaps I need to explain more.

I am using a hardware firewall/router (linksys). I also have vsftpd
running on this server.  I use the same rule to enable ftp in my firewall
and ftp transfers work fine.  There are no packet filters in the linksys
router, just simple check boxes to allow TCP/UDP traffic on a given port.

I also no not understand why I would need to use passive mode, passive
mode does not work with ftp either, so I do not use passive mode there and
then ftp works fine.  Does this mean that HylaFAX supports _only_ passive
mode?
