I ran into this same problem (being unable to get a directory from
research.att.com).  There are two solutions:

1) use the netlib mail server
   start out by saying
   
	% mail netlib at research.att.com
	  Subject: send index

   read the reply, and go from there.  My guess is that 'send index
   from dist/f2c' will tell you what's in the f2c distribution.

2) fix your ftp client by getting the latest release of ftp.  I got
   mine from the BSD-4.3 tahoe distribution at wuarchive.wustl.edu
   I can't build it yet, because I have to find herror(3), but we'll
   get there.  Evidently, there have been some changes in the official
   ftp protocol that are not yet reflected in the vendors products.
   for example, Ultrix uses the old protocols.
