Hello Larry,

I can offer an answer to what might be a different question:

Way back I had the problem that ange-ftp would hang on startup because 
it didn't understand a message that only passive ftp would generate.
I fixed this and have since brought this solution over to EFS:

;;;
;;; Attempting to cope with PASV ftp.
;;; YES, we can cope!
;;;
;;; Adrian Aichner, Teradyne GmbH Munich, Thu., Jul. 04, 1996.
;;;
(add-hook 'efs-load-hook
          '(lambda ()
             (setq efs-skip-msgs
                   (concat efs-skip-msgs
                           "\\|^returning from dataconn()"
                           "\\|^227 "
                           )
                   )))

Now (xemacs-20.1-b12) I just verified that I don't need the above
customization anymore.

Check the documentation on 'Gateways:' in lisp/efs/efs.el.

Adrian
