Yes, it appears to be related to Fast File Transfer.  If I disable FFT, the
transfer will work OK.

When I packet sniff from my client side, Reflection file transfer is only
talking on the existing telnet connection, and I don't see the client
originating any SYNs to the server, nor are any server SYNs being received by
the client.

But SOCKINFO.NET.SYS does show a socket opened by PCLINK2.

Does anybody know if PCLINK2 FFT is FTP-like and establishes a TCP connection
back to the client?  If it does work that way, then possibly an HP firewall is
involved which is blocking the outbound connection for some reason.

I guess I will tell the user who wanted PCLINK2 that if they need FFT to use
FTP instead.
