Heck, I use DNET on my home-built NSC 32016 which has a byte-sex
like a VAX and opposite a 680x0.  No real problems here 'cept that
my '020 A1000 is faster, in terms of CPU, than my BSD '016 box.
Uploads to Unix are not that fast and sometimes choke @ 9600 but
download have never given me a problem.

I have it but haven't gotten around to using it.  My understanding
is that it doesn't support multiple windows.  Multiple sessions -
YES, windows - No.  Correct me if I'm wrong here.  I have tried the
earlier KA9Q (non-NOS) Amiga versions using SLIP on the above
home-brew but I do like the multiple windows of DNET.
