I am trying to set up DNet between my Amiga and the Unix box at school.
As far as I can tell, I have everything set up right.  I type

run DNET -X -b2400 -P0 -Z0 -m0

This seems right, since I have a 2400 baud modem, and I usually have a 8N1
connection to the school's computer.

Everything is ok so far.  The window pops up, I connect with the school's
computer, and log in.  Then, on the Unix box, I type

dnet -m0

As advertized, the window goes away, and I get an fterm window, with a
message saying something about waiting for a connection.  Unfortunately,
after a few seconds, this window goes away, and nothing further happens.

Also, I have a question about fterm: what sort of terminal emulation does
it do?  If I can't use GnuEmacs with it, this would greatly limit DNet's
usefulness to me.  Please tell me there is a way to use full-screen editors
with DNet...

Thanks in advance for any help.
