The "DNET. " is coming from the amiga side.  In control.c, do_cmd is sending
a PKCMD_ACKRSTART packet with a space character.  That is processed on the
unix side by do_cmd in the unix control.c.  It calls setlistenport with the
data character sent by the amiga.  The bind in setlistenport then appends
the space to "DNET.".
