Well, after what sound like similar problems, I finally succeeded in 
getting dnet 2.10 to run.  Onthe Amiga end I start it with this part of
a shell script.

Path Comm:dnet/bin add
assign dnet: Comm:dnet
assign >NIL: DPIPE: exists
if warn 
    mount DPIPE:
    mount NULL:
endif
cd Comm:dnet/bin
run dnet -X -P0 -b2400 -Z0 -m0

After I get logged into the Unix I then run  dnet by typing

dnet -m0

Of course dnet.servers and dnet.config are copied into s: and altered
to reflect that the binaries are located in Comm:dnet/bin.
Interestingly, you don't need dnet.servers and dnet.config to
login and start dnet on the Unix.  I was able to get the Fterm going
but wasn't getting putfiles on the Unix to work.  Then I thought about
dnet.servers and copied it into s: and modified it. Now putfiles works.

I run dnet over a modem with 8-bit connection and no parity.
Hope this helps,
