Re: ISPs blocking FTP commands

I found it to be a time-out problem with reverse lookup. I noticed the same 
thing with ftp, telnet, and POP servers on non-Earthlink sites when using 
Earthlink as an ISP. I was able to overcome it by increasing the amount of 
time the servers would wait for a reverse lookup before aborting the 
connection or disabling reverse lookup. Since neither of those "solutions" 
addressed the reverse lookup issue and why it took so long, I dropped 
Earthlink.
