OK, make sure you have a file somewhere, likely /usr/sbin, that
is in.ftpd.

(It's in the wu-ftp package, I got it wrong earlier)

so try ftping to yourself - on the cdrom machine try
	ftp localhost
and see what happens.

Now here is the tricky bit...  can you do it by ftp via it's
PLIP interface?

Try 
	ftp ip-of-its-plip
