Another firewall problem

The current flurry of messages about firewalls have reminded me of my
failure with efs through a firewall.

I have an interlock account which has the following procedure.  

Ftp to firewall -> Login with Username and password -> Open connection
to remote machine at ftp prompt by saying "user
<remoteuser>@<remotehost>" -> Login to remote machine with Username
and password.

A sample session follows:

	localhost % ftp firewall
	Connected to firewall
	220  internet-gw FTP Gateway Thu Aug 17 11:29:08 1995
	Name (rbhumbla): my_interlock_id
	331 Password required for my_interlock_id.
	Password:
	ftp> user <remoteuser>@<remotehost>

Unfortunately, the interlock gateway described in efs.el does not do
quote USER my_interlock_id before doing the quote PASS.

Is there any way to get around this prolem?

Thanks,
Ravi
