  I recently installed the newest version of dnet (2.10 with fixes). 
When I connect to my Sun at work from home, things seem to work fine.
I use:

      dnet -X -8 -b2400 -P0 -Z0

I don't have an 8 bit connection anymore, so I don't use -m0. Anyway,
all goes well. I can get dnet up on the Sun, and I've tried out the
verious clients and everything seems to work well.

  What I want to do, then, is leave that running so I can access the
stuff at home from my Sun at work. This used to work fine, but now
when I type "dsoc" at work it responds "DOpen: No such file or
directory".  Now dsoc works fine when I type it in the fterm window
that is up on my Amiga (I tried this all yesterday. My first thought
was, of course, that something had died. But I went home last night
and dnet was still up, and dsoc still worked from the fterm window).
In fact, from the Sun none of the clients work. draw gives the same
message, and getfiles and putfiles say "Unable to connect". All work
fine from the fterm window on my Amiga.

  Also, has anybody gotten the nfs-handler to work? I compiled snfs on
the Sun, installed nfs-handler in l:, added a mountlist entry for
NF0:. Now I'm not sure exactly what's supposed to happen. I mounted
NF0:. No problem there. But when I try to do something to it (e.g. cd
nf0:) it just hangs.  DNET still works, but all attempts to access
nf0: hang. They remain that way until I quit dnet, at which point they
all return saying "NF0: not found". Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Also, what directory on the UNIX side is NF0: supposed to be attached
to? The default destination directory?

  Oh, one other thing. Perhaps this was just random noise, but I seem
to be getting a lot more checksum failure errors from dnet than I've ever
gotten before. Anyone else experience this?

  Thanks for the help.

  Jim
