I gotta ask - were you able to get active FTP clients running under
these conditions?

I'm having a helluva time getting any FTP to work behind a NAT'd SpeedStream
and an OpenBSD 2.8 SS2 boxen on a DSL line.  I can get anything else done with
simple hole punches but FTP and "keep state" just doesn't seem to want to work.

It's almost like ipfilter is ignoring any attempt to make an outgoing
port automatically.
