Oooops!  Maybe I should read things more carefully before responding... I
need a vacation :)

What error number is he getting from the FTP client? - that would really
help.  Do you see anything in the log files from his IP address?  We had
problems with some broken FTP clients, Ident lookups, and firewalls... see

That usually doesn't stop a connection though... it just delays the initial
connection for 10-15 seconds.
