I am experiencing a major problem that the 'experts' seem to be
puzzled over.

In a nutshell, I cannot upload a binary file larger than around 1024
bytes.   The xfer will end in error with the messages, "transfer
failed" and "blocking call canceled".

Let me further explain the situation:
* I have used both WS-FTP95 and the Windows 95 FTP program.  So I have
verified that it's not the FTP software!

* I experienced this problem with more than one ISP's FTP site.  
In one situation, I lost FTP access when they(ISP) switched to a
different version of their FTP software.   Once they put me back to
the original version, I regained the ability to upload binary files.
This ISP is using: FTP Server (Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-11](1)
which works for me.

The ISP's FTP I am currently having troubles with is using:
FTP server (Version wu-2.4(1) 

* I am using an ASCEND Pipeline 50 ISDN router

* I can upload any length of ASCII file!!  *BUT* not beyond a 1kb
binary file not even if it's sent as ASCII.

* This problem is not isolated to one computer

* With the problem site, I talked with their many "experts" and no one
can find an explanation.   It's was especially weird when, during the
one hour trouble shooting session, I suddenly gained the ability to
upload a large binary file.   Unfortunately, that ability only lasted
a short while.  Now I definitely cannot upload any binaries.  What on
earth is wrong??

Your help is greatly appreciated and I'll be extremely grateful if
someone knows the answer to me difficulties.

Sincerely,
Shawn
