Nope, the ftp client is running on machine B (2.1.90), which has an EtherNet connection to machine A (2.1.86), which is the local router (via SLIP) to a CISCO terminal server, which is on the departmental LAN. Trust me: I know what keyboard I'm using :-)
The trace still makes no sense then. The connection was completed correctly by both machines, and the SunOS FTP server did not send one packet containing data.
Sniff the wire at the SunOS box, someone else is dropping packets. I bet the SLIP line is hosed, the MTU is incorrect, and the SunOS FTP server is sending data packets larger than the MTU of the SLIP end, and the CISCO router is dropping things. Doing tcpdump at the Linux host, in this case, only gives half the story.
