I just hate "me too" articles, but I will say it: ME TOO!

To further clarify: from an fterm window I can do any of the 
commands such as dprint, or opening an amiga cli.

If I rsh to another machine, and rsh back, then try dprint, it says
"unable to connect".  The fterm windows have some extra environment
variables set, like DNETHOST, which may have something to do with it.

The ability to have a cli open from sun csh is neat, but loses some
of its utility when its only accessable via an fterm window on the
amiga console :-(.

I have been getting this too.  For me it always happens at the page
prompt in "more", so it seems to be dependant on the data transmitted.

When this happens, all the fterm windows are locked, and the only way out
seems to be quitdnet, and restart.
