Hi all, I've run into a problem that I can't seem to resolve. I'm
running a NetBSD 2.0 (just upgraded from 1.6.2) box, and I've got an
issue that's been lingering since before the upgrade. I was kind of
hoping that it would magically go away when I upgraded! :-)

In essence, I seem to be unable to download (either via FTP or lynx) any
file greater than 1-2KB. I discovered the problem a few months ago,
after many months of not needing to touch this particular box (my
firewall). It had previously been working fine, I'd downloaded and
installed packages no problem. Other machines that go through this box
for 'net access have no problems. I can sftp files from my local network
to this box no problem.

So, anyone got any suggestions or ideas for me to try and work out why
this is happening, how it happened, and how I can fix it?
Thanks in advance,
    Piers
