ftp help.....

You need to load them on your firewall (the one that's acting as your 
router/NAT box).  That SHOULD allow you to use PORT based FTP.  If it 
doesn't, there's either a bug in the modules (which I don't think there 
are), or the FTP server at the other end isn't RFC compliant (there's 
lots of these, especially the l33t Windoze Kiddie ones).
