If anyone can help, many thanks.

It sounds like your Net-God's are filtering outside FTP access.  Many
organizations are doing that these days as a security measure.  My site
filters incoming FTP but allows outgoing FTP (in other words, they allow
me to FTP out but not the world to FTP in).  This is mainly so the net at
large can't get access to a machine and attempt to hack their way in.  If
this is the case, there may not be much you can do about it.  Talk to your
netadmin (the person responsible for routers and such) for more info.

I did not post the original request, but am VERY interested in obtaining a
copy of documentation for PCEudora. Could you or someone post a copy on
some anonymous ftp site? I have to believe that there are many potential
users of PCEudora who would like to understand how to fully use the
software.

Thanks,

Subject: Novell Winsock doesn't support some Winsock calls?!

We're testing some Winsock code we wrote and are having problems with
Novell's Winsock stack. After calling them, they said that their Winsock
doesn't support all the calls! Unf, they couldn't tell me which they
support and which they don't. Does anyone out there have any experience
running Novell's Winsock? Any ideas on what it does and doesn't support?
Thanks,

    Ed

p.s. the code runs fine on several other Winsock stacks.
