Look at the docs for `process-status'. A return of `signal' means that
the process -is dead-, and that it was killed by a signal (rather than
exiting of its own volition, which yields `exit'). You got exactly what
you wanted. (You can check which signal killed it with
`process-exit-status'.)

Ah! Thanks, I just tried and at least my workaround now works.
I thought that that 'signal meant dying ....
Now, my workaround (which is the only way I currently know of getting
this working with w2k) is as follows:
1) Throw to a tag in ange-ftp-process-filter if the ftp process seems
out of order (waiting, only nulls and more than 20 characters is my
current test)
2) Catch this in ange-ftp-send-cmd and call delete-process there and
then let ange-ftp-get-process restart the ftp process
Is this something we want in ange-ftp? If not I believe we should give
a reciepe for how to get ange-ftp working, but I am not sure how this
should look. What I do know is that this does not work OTB for all w2k
users, see the page on EmacsWiki that I mentioned before.
The ftp program I am using is from
ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/emacs/windows/contrib/ftp-for-win32.zip.
