I assume you are not using a modem, right? :-)

I am running Dnet at 9600 baud over an RS232-to-current loop converter.
I'm running an A500 & am connected to a Sun. I use this all day long with
no communications errors at all, but then I wouldn't expect any to be
generated over this configuration. You don't mention what host you are
connected to. This might be the source of the problem instead of Dnet.

I also used to run 2400 baud from home with my A1000 before my modem got
trashed by the phone lines (even had surge-suppressors on both the power &
the tel.  line), and I know for a fact that that line was VERY noisy without
Dnet, but never experienced any comm errors running Dnet.

I wish I could try out 19200, but the current loop converter apparently
can't handle more than 9600 baud.
