I am too; I gave up trying to keep up with Intel incarnations a while
ago when they were described only in marketing, rather than technical,
terms. For machine type, uname and uname() rely on the OS maker making
the appropriate determination. Kermit decides whether it's 64-bit by
doing some sizeof()'s (e.g., of off_t and/or long).
I haven't had time to look into the problem yet, but I do notice that
on a 64-bit machine that fails to make an FTP connection (for me and
Arthur, at least), I can still make a Telnet connection, so when I get
a chance I'll see what's different about the Telnet and FTP code that
sets up the connect() call.
