I think you'll find 19.2 working best - receiving at 38.4 is too much for a 68000 CPU. I tried DNet at 31.25 (MIDI speed), it really hogs the machine a way that 19.2 doesn't. >I've looked at DNET a bit, but it doesn't appear to handle this kind >of thing.

(If anyone's been successful >in getting it to compile under stock "lmk", please let me know!). First off, there should be binaries along with DNet, not needing any compiling. >Comments? Pointers to existing examples? The Software Distillery put out a server module that would run NFS at least between two Amiga's - so you might be able to do the Unix part. >Also, as I said, I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who's gotten >DNET to work on the Amiga. I ran DNet happily from about the first version to V2.01 or 2.20, both between Amiga's and Amiga<->Unix. Real great stuff, I used a null- modem cable to my neighbour's Amiga, and modem to my Unix account. You can even read mail and news while downloading from the source/binary groups. >but can't get Dmake to do anything but guru my machine. I never needed to compile the thing - binaries are in the distribution archive.
