I found the line that turns on active in the rather LARGE sample autoexec 
file...and have been running it that for years.  The ISP tells me, and I'm in 
no position to argue with him, that if I'm using PASSV, then eventually I'll 
hit port 1025, which he has blocked.

Running the traffic through the "more expensive spread" ISP, I can see that I 
am hitting port 1025.
