On what OS are you runging the DeleGate ?
FTP-DeleGate does not change the default socket buffer size of the socket
for control-connection to a client, and it is expected to be large enough
(at least 1Kbytes or more).  So "780 bytes" restriction sounds strange.

For confirmation, I tested FTP-DeleGate with a patch like follows (A).
Observation with tcpdump shows that the window size is 64K and the
openning banner message of 825 bytes are sent at a time (B).
Shrinking the sending socket buffer to 512 bytes generates fragmentation
of the message into two packets, but it is not like to be in usual
environment.

 |As I've mentioned before, I'm not sure what the bug is. Two different 
 |firewalls that reject, a strange socket setup or a slightly different 
 |understanding of the protocol. I'll check this, the next days.

Cheers,
