Been waiting for HP network people to call me back for an hour now . . .

More observations:
The FTP will not connect even to intself.
I can "DS" into the system fine.
So the question becomes: "why does FTP inbound get hung up?"

I wish to avoid the problem in the future.  Just restarting FTP (JINETD job)
may work but I prefer to find the root cause of the problem.
