Don't know about Bcastnid, but the FTP problem we know about.  It lets
you log on, but when you do 'get' or 'put', it hangs, and creates
a zero length file.  The way we get around this is just do a
"type image" BEFORE you do the transfer, immediately after logging on.
Image transfers SEEM to work, for us anyway.

As for subnets, forget it.  You must either:
	a) hand 'route' your destinations
	b) route default to your local gateway machine (proteon?) and
	   let it route it to where it is going.

Yeah, yeah, it sucks, I know.
