Hmm.  Hmm.  What should i say?  It works!  I've had some troubles to
actually get it into not doing VJ header compression (the other end is
doing VJ auto, so i had to turn both off there initially).  After
this, it continues to work.  I haven't fetched the entire missing 1.5
MB over my slow modem though.

However, there were still some truncation warnings:

Is there anybody from the IP gurus who could make some sense out of
this?  Maybe the problem is in the path MTU discovery, and it's only
that SLIP's VJ header compression prevents the connection from
recovering?

(My PPP attempt did also run with VJ compression, but since it's using
an MTU of 1500, this might be a totally different picture.)

There are only two routers between me and the FTP server in question,
both are some sort of (older) Ciscos.  Ah well, no, there's a third
router of course, the PPP/SLIP server on the other end, running
FreeBSD 2.1.
