Well, I also tried

run DNET -8 -X -b2400 -P0 -Z0 -m0

But that didn't change anything.  I did discover, however that "loadav",
"getfiles" and "putfiles" seem to work (although I didn't try transferring
a binary file).

One of the README files suggests the following possibilies for the fterm
program not connecting:

  a) You don't have an 8-bit connection between your Amiga and the Unix
     Host

  This is possible, although I specified an 8-bit connection, and I normally
  use (with JR-Comm) an 8-bit connection

  b) You didn't set up the DNETDIR variable properly.
  c) You didn't copy dnet.servers into $DNETDIR
  d) The absolute file path in dnet.servers for server #8192 [sic] is
     not correct.

  I believe I have all these covered, assuming that the server # in
  this file is a typo, and should really be #8193...

Is there any other reason fterm wouldn't connect?  I'll double check these
other answers, but I'm not sure they'll yeild the problem...

Thanks in advance,
