    I have seen in the past some questions about using DSOC or PUTFILES
(in fact any unix client) from a Unix host with the latest version of
Dnet (2.10.13 ?).  People have noticed that they could used dsoc from an
fterm, but not from another terminal.  Well, I have just discovered
recently that setting the environnement variable DNETHOST to ' ' (1
blank) or to '3', depending on your socket name in DNETDIR solves the
problem.  Maybe Matt could tell us why this is necessary ?

    I posted recently a mail server in comp.sources.amiga.  I now have a
new version which uses the SPEAK: device and will work on any BSD Unix
or Sun OS.  As I have no idea how much persons is using MAILCHK, it's
probably better to mail me that you are interested.  If there is enough
interest, I'll post it...
