Thanks, Michal...
But I believe the services on the host(s) are correct.
It seems that I get a similar message whenever I try to connect from
REBOL (either on the HP-UX box or my desktop box running Linux)
to ANY ftp server.
However, a transcript from a console ftp session (to the same host
I'm trying to hit from REBOL) makes it appear that a "normal" ftp
service is running on the host's port 21.
$ ftp 1.2.3.4
Connected to 1.2.3.4.
220 HOSTNAME Microsoft FTP Service (Version 4.0).

I get a similar response when connecting to the HP-UX server from
my Linux box, and I just checked /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf
to verify that ftp really is running on port 21.
$ ftp my-hpux-box

But then, from my desktop Linux box...

(just FYI)
