93 The problem is that the DNS first gives an IPV6 address. However our
94 router doesn't do IPV6. Ftp then falls back to IPV4:

96 ftp> open ftp.nluug.nl
97 Trying 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36...
98 ftp: connect to address 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36: No route to host
99 Trying 192.87.102.36...
100 Connected to ftp.nluug.nl.

102 Ange-ftp chokes on the `No route to host' message and doesn't look any
103 further.

105 I think in the near future we will see more of this problem, so it might be
106 time to make anfe-ftp more intelligent.
