Hey, on the lines of async IO...(sort of), I cannot get dnet to work up to
campus since there is a network which runs at fibre-baud (19.2K ussually)
which is running the data from the mainframes to a modem which I connect to.
This means I dont have a direct link between myself and the mainframe. I have
8-bits on the data stream, but the fibre-network does its own flow control and
I am pretty sure that this is causing dnet to NOT work...  :-(

Is there any chance of overcoming this problem via a mod. to dnet?? I would
be willing to hack away at it if I could get a bit of guidance to start...

Thanks,
bob
