No core file, > no nothing. You know, this sounds very familiar. When the first 7-bit version, it worked fine for me, but of course the nfs-handler was not there. Then, I picked up the new version and installed the new dnet binary. Much to my surprise, as soon as it started up, it opened the fterm window, exchanged some data, then disconnected me. I put back the old dnet executable and tried nfs-handler... upon mounting NF0: and cd'ing to it, a bunch of data is exchanged (and a few things written to the NFS log file; I recompiled the server with the DEBUG option on) but the Amiga end just hangs forever until dnet is killed, at which time I get a typical "NF0: not found" message from cd. An examination of the output of 'ps' shows that there are three processes running on the Unix system, with no control terminals, that seem to be associated with the NFS server. I haven't had time to look into it further. By the way, while the nfs-handler is hung the rest of dnet works just fine so I can fterm, putfiles, and getfiles all day with no problem... By the way, I am running dnet on a Sequent Symmetry running Dynix (pretty much 4.3bsd), and am connected by a dialup connection through an AT&T Information Systems Network which gives a 7-bit even parity link with XON/XOFF flow control...
