Does anybody have a similar configuratrion working?

I have v2.01 which I ftp'd from ucbvax.berkeley.edu the
other night.

What happens is I call out using dterm, log in, set my
DNETDIR variable to point to /tmp/.david.DNET and type
dnet.  The dnet.servers file points to /u/e/staff/david/local.ultrix.
The dnet.servers on the amiga points to boot:system, which is
where I put all the dnet binaries.  In both cases these directories
are in my PATH.  When I type dnet, the dterm window goes away
and an fterm window starts.  But quickly after the original
dterm window comes back, the fterm window goes away, and a new
fterm window comes back.  It keeps doing this ... until I turn
off the modem.  QuitDnet won't kill it.

Runing with -p and -d (debug & packet debug) shows

	DNET RUNNING
	SEND 05		3 bytes
	DNET RUNNING
	SEND 05		3 bytes
	DNET RUNNING
	SEND 05		3 bytes
	DNET RUNNING
	SEND 05		3 bytes
	DNET RUNNING
	SEND 05		3 bytes
	...

Until I turn the modem off.  Sometimes it prints that it received
a "16" with so many bytes, but that doesn't keep the fterm from
being killed.

Oh, and it's not the trailblazer either because this happens when
I call a 2400 baud modem with my trailblazer.

I tried turning off all the flow control on the remote trailblazer.
My trailblazer uses hardware flow control -- It doesn't step on
^S/^Q and is otherwise transparent to characters.

There was a couple of compile errors -- warnings actually --
when compiling the unix end.  I could reproduce those if necessary.

On the Amiga end I'm just using the binaries in the distribution.
I installed the dpipe: handler in the distribution, even though
the docs didn't say to...  (Does it matter that I didn't MOUNT it
until after startup-sequence finished?)

My DNETDIR is in /tmp because my home directory is NFS mounted
from a machine other than the one the modems are on.

"boot:" is the name listed for the boot device in MountList.  It
was named DH0: at format time.  Oh, but I see the dnet.servers
now refers to dh0:system ...

I tried "stty pass8" once .. no change


Any ideas?

Thanks,
