I have been having a strange problem with DNET that I hope someone can help me with. I have been using DNET for quite a while to connect my Amiga at home with the Sun workstation I have on my desk at work. I originally had a 1200 baud modem & everything has worked fine at that speed. Last march when I upgraded my A1000 to a A2000 I got a 2400 baud modem at the same time. I can still connect to the Sun at 1200 baud with DNET but it does not want to work at 2400 baud. It lets me login and works ok right up to the time I enter 'dnet' on the Sun to open the fterm window. Then it just hangs. I can't find anything that would be speed dependent at that point. So far I have had to do all the transfers at 1200 baud which now seems so slow. Does anyone have any clue what might be wrong, or where to start to look. I have gone as far as I can with my meager understanding of DNET. Thanks.

The only way to connect to the Sun from home is via a network server that is connected to a modem in another building. It only accepts 7E1 for protocol. I have been using the command 'run dnet -b1200 -P1 -Z0' to connect at 1200 baud & it has (& still does) work fine. When I change the command to 'run dnet -b2400 -P1 -Z0' everything works fine until I enter the command 'dnet' on the Sun. Then the dnet window closes, a fterm window opens (as it should), & the system is dead at that point. I am able to move to the CLI window and enter 'quitdnet', which will close the fterm window & reconnect me to the Sun via a dnet window so I can log off & disconnect from the server. I have had a couple of suggestions via mail that have not worked. One was to move the line 'auta 2400 etc' to the top of the dnet.config file. But I am not connecting in auto mode. When I tried this and gave the '-a' option to dnet I was unable to stay in the dnet window long enough to get through the terminal server & connect to the Sun. For those who are going to ask if I am running the 7 bit version of Dnet... yes I am & it works fine at 1200 baud ONLY. I appreciate any help that is offored. Thanks.
