Unfortunately our sys admin says outbound connections to ports >1024 are
allowed.
Here is the equivalent log from Leap ftp - this client works fine. It's
using the same firewall on the same port # from the same pc. The problem
isn't site specific - you get the same problem connecting to any ftp site
outside the firewall with Rebol.
