I can not connect to a ftp server
with /usr/bin/ftp from Linux 2.4.18
kernel though I can from Linux
2.2.20 kernel.  And I can connect to
other ftp servers even if from 2.4.18
kernel.
A web page
  http://www.icir.org/floyd/papers/ECN.Oct2000.txt
says that 
  * If Host A does not get any reply to its initial SYN (which had CWR
    and ECE set) within the normal SYN retransmission timeout interval,
    then Host A resends the SYN and any subsequent SYN retransmissions
    with CWR and ECE cleared.
  where Host A is a client and Host B is a server.
But my firewall log says:
  Mar 20 21:41:01 litium kernel: IN=eth0 OUT=eth1 SRC=192.168.1.4

  Mar 20 21:41:22 litium kernel: IN=eth0 OUT=eth1 SRC=192.168.1.4
    DST=211.125.48.158 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=63 ID=386 DF
    PROTO=TCP SPT=1052 DPT=21 WINDOW=5840 RES=0x00 CWR ECE SYN URGP=0 
Because there is no response from the ftp server, the CWR and ECE flags of
TCP SYN packets other than the first one must be cleared. I think
the log shows a bug in kernel 2.4.18.

Ftp command I use is:
  -rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        64860 May  2  2000 /usr/bin/ftp
This comes from Vine linux 2.15, a Linux distribution
popular in Japan. I tried to get a copyright message
from the command with some options as '-h', '--help',
'--version' or '-hv' and could not get.
If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version.
Compare to the current minimal requirements in Documentation/Changes.

I have a small LAN 192.168.1.0/24. There is
a firewall between the LAN and the Internet.
The firewall is a linux box with kernel 2.4.18
