What version of SunOS are you using?  I have it working fine here
under SunOS 3.4 (me, use SunOS 4.0?  Are you kidding?) through a modem
connected directly to the sun.  Are you going through any
portselectors, muxes, etc?  You need a clear 8-bit data path...

Is this what you did?

amon-re% ls -lg
total 2
srwxrwxrwx  1 tadguy   none            0 Jan 24 07:03 DNET.
-rw-rw-r--  1 tadguy   none          287 Jan 26 05:45 DNET.LOG
-rw-rw-r--  1 tadguy   none          174 Jan 24 07:03 dnet.servers
amon-re% cat DNET.
DNET.: Operation not supported on socket
amon-re%

The DNET. file is really a socket (notice the s in the filetype
column), and UNIX doesn't let you read/write directly to sockets like
this (the message you see is really from cat).  You should look in
DNET.LOG for errors, etc.  Also, make sure the paths in your
dnet.servers file are correct...

>Also, does anyone have a termcap for the Amiga...

I've been using this since October '86 with no problems.  Be sure to
use ``tset'' after changing your terminal type (it's a good idea to
put a tset in your .login).

zj|amiga|Amiga 1000:\
        :al=\E[L:bs:cd=\E[J:ce=\E[K:cl=^L:cm=\E[%i%d;%dH:co#80:cr=^M:\

        :dl=\E[M:us=\E[4m:ue=\E[0m:ho=\E[H:is=\E[20l:

Please note that this is set for 80 columns and 25 rows!  This is what
I have since I use more rows.  You'll have to count your screen size
and change these values (co#xx and li#xx) as needed...
