Hmm.  Looking for information on what pasv means, I find that it appears that 
linux's ip_masq can be set to eaves drop on ftp connections to allow normal 
mode to work.  I bet that NetBSD can do the same thing, whenever I get it 
set up for NAT.  I wonder how I set Mozilla and IE to pasv mode in the mean 
time...
