This is actually a Good Thing(tm).  Various exploits have abused the
PORT command functionality to redirect access to an IP other than the
client (not good) or have it open a port < 1024 (which used to be a big
deal when not everybody on the internet had 'root' capability via their
use of linux/windows/etc on their PCs.  Nice idea when only "servers"
were on the net, ridiculous now.
