I've been on the Internet for 20 years and have yet to encounter a
public ftp site that uses a nonstandard port.

Yeah, pretty much.

What would you suggest? How is the masq box supposed to recognize that
you are talking to an ftp server, instead of a web server, or a mail
server, or ...?

While I can try to sympathize with your situation, it is definitely not
something that I run into at all. Every ftp site that I access uses
port 21.
The only advice I can give is that you try to insmod ip_masq_ftp with a
list of the frequently-used ports that you encounter, or that you
configure your ftp client to always use PASV transfers. The PASV mode
does not require any special masq handling.
