Hello, this is my first posting so please ignore my inexperience. I can't seem to get dnet (2.01) to work while calling a Sequent Balance with BSD 4.3. The problem is when dnet tries to open an fterm, it just hangs. The fterm window never closes and seems to be caught in some infinite loop where the same data is sent over and over. The title bar says, "fterm 2.01.04 opening, wait...", and the close window gadget has no effect. I hope I'm doing something wrong, but there is the possiblity it is the connection between my amiga and the BSD machine. If this appears to be the case, is there a way around it (aside from the -B option)? No matter how I change the options, the same problem with the fterm going into an infinite loop occur. I have tried dnet with at most the following options : run dnet -X -h0 -B1200 -b2400 -d -p -8 The most likely problem is that I don't have my dnet.servers set up correctly. Here is the dnet.servers for the unix side : 8192 /users/en-csen/grandin/dnet/bin/scopy /users/en-csen/grandin/ 8193 /users/en-csen/grandin/dnet/bin/sshell /users/en-csen/grandin/ 8197 /users/en-csen/grandin/dnet/bin/sloadav /users/en-csen/grandin/ 8201 /users/en-csen/grandin/dnet/bin/sgcopy /users/en-csen/grandin/ And this is the dnet.servers for the amiga side : 8192 dnet:amiga/bin/scopy ram: ;File Transfer server 8195 dnet:amiga/bin/sterm ram: ;Terminal Window server 8196 dnet:amiga/bin/scli ram: ;Shell Server (needs pipe:) 8197 dnet:amiga/bin/sloadav ram: ;Load Average Server 8198 dnet:amiga/bin/sprint ram: ;Printer Server (direct copy) 8199 dnet:amiga/bin/spasswd ram: ;Password Server ; 8200 reserved for BBS server, handled by dbbs client&server program 8201 dnet:amiga/bin/sgcopy ram: ;GET files server Alright, onto the symptoms. The amiga side's debugging just repeats these three lines while waiting for an fterm: SEND 11 14 bytes SEND 02 3 bytes RECV 04 0 bytes Then the fterm window never closes and I have to reboot. On the UNIX side (Sequent BSD 4.3) (using "dnet debug") I get the following in the DNET.LOG file. DNet startup Log file placed in /users/en-csen/grandin/.dnet/ Debug mode on DNET RUNNING, Listenfd=3 NETWRITE 0000d804 3 WTimeout set SERR 1 1 00000000 00fff148 NETREAD 00010270 3 DO COMMAND (0DATA) 0x05 NETWRITE 00010230 13 WTimeout set WNET-STARTTO WTimeout set SERR -1 4 00000000 00fff148 WTO NETWRITE 00010230 3 WTimeout set WNET-STARTTO WTimeout set The file continues with similar results, but continues to say : "WTimeout set" every 5 or so lines. I tried to include all of the important information here, but can elaborate. I seem to have hit a dead end, and don't know where to continue. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance, Keith Grandin grandin@tramp.colorado.edu grandin%tramp@colorado.edu
