This is probably the "MTU" problem you might have seen discussed on this
list in the last few days. Short login commands are sent in small
packets, and work fine, but an "ls" response might be large, and get
sent in one large packet, which fails due to the fragmentation problem
discussed.
Is your PPP MTU set to 1500? If not, try forcing it to that size.
Either that, or your firewall might be denying the connection. Since a
DENY sends no response back to the server, the connection might hang as
you describe.
