There is nothing wrong with Funet, it's just that the ftp 
implementation of Microsoft Internet Explorer is broken in my humble 
opinion. As others suggested, you need to enter your email address 
for password, you should for all anonymous ftp connections but not 
all sites enforce this. You could try an http connection, which also 
works:

http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/msx

or use a real ftp client.

Then you'll also see correct errormessages about userlimits etc.
