Yep. I thought that might work too. FTP from host to host hung up at almost the exact same place. Interesting problem. At my location, I've narrowed it down to a certain provider - at least with a very small sample, i.e., several people using the same provider as I am had the same difficulty. I asked a few people using different providers to try it and they had no problem. The provider I'm using is by far the largest in our city using several Sun/Unix setups. Who knows.

Many thanks to everyone responding.
