Sloppy code. Don't worry about it; that's not your problem. Your problem is somewhere in the data stream. >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?) Dpipe: matters not at all, until you try to use the SCLI server on the Amiga. This isn't your problem either. >My DNETDIR is in /tmp because my home directory is NFS mounted >from a machine other than the one the modems are on. Contrary to Matt's claim that the Unix-domain sockets fail when network-mounted, my DNETDIR is ~/.dnet/ [not actually using "~"] which is in an NFS-mounted partition. It works fine.
