Is it possible to set up our ftp server so people can resume
broken ftp sessions?

I found everything being fine on the server end. It supports RESUME defined in
RFC959 and I was able to resume downloads multiple times using ncftp 3.0.0b21
and CuteFTP 3.0.1. I'm starting to think problem is with your client, or your
firewall doesn't support active connections (try using PASV mode). Give a try
using some other ftp client, for example CuteFTP for Windows NT has been my
favourite.
