I get that same response if I address hobbes as "ftp.hobbes.nmsu.edu"
using "hobbes.nmsu.edu" gives "collecting objects 
............................................................."

Hi Andy,
I'd had the same experience [forever, since HOST introduced - with 
MCP1?], using other than command-line menuitem, but never even thought 
to try the Split-View option, which I rarely use as I have Object 
Navigators in OD anyhow, but decided to give it a go here.

I tried it against "hobbes.nmsu.edu" in that Open-mode, but it just sits 
there forever "collecting objects".
"UNIX Type:L8" gets immediately returned by "Query host OS".

Did you try it against hobbes?
