To be honest I just used Cypheus to reproduce the error.
In my case I submit a large amount of jobs automatically with ftp, 
and this is what's happening:

C:\tmp\HylaFAX>ftp -s:ftp.txt
ftp> open faxserver 4559

You cannot blame the client here and I think that both Cypheus 
and WHFC use these FTP commands.
