[comp.sys.amiga.misc] DNET

hawk@pnet01.cts.com (John Anderson) (03/23/91)

  I am running DNet 2.01 and am having trouble getting cliterm to run.  Dnet
runs fine, I've sent and grabbed files with putfiles and getfiles fine.  All
seems fine, except cliterm.  If I start cliterm from the cli, my friends
computer crashes, if he starts cliterm, I get an error in the cli saying error
20 unable to load NewShell.  I have DPipe: mounted, and Pipe:, also Newcon:.
Oh yeah, Null: is mounted also.  I think that's all that needs to be specially
mounted.  I'm running >2.02 (am I allowed to say this?) on a 2500.  Are there
any know problems with DNet and >=2.0?  If there is any info I forgot to
mention then please ask.  Anybody that can help, please do.

Ok, I have the Dnet archive from uunet.uu.net downloaded and un-lharced. Now
I have some questions.

Firstly:  Do you HAVE to compile certain parts of Dnet or is everything that
          is necessary in dnet:amiga/bin?  If you do have to compile it, can
          I use something other than Lattice? Will DICE work? I have Manx
          3.4a or something, and I'm clueless about porting things to work 
          with different compilers.

Secondly: What about the files that are listed in .distfiles for some of the
          directories like s:?  I can see no 'dnet.servers' or 'dnet.config'
          files anywhere in the archive,{ what am I missing?

Hello,
	has anyone out there got DNET up and running
on a sun4 or sparcstation running sunOS 4.0+s ?
If so what version od DNET are you using. I have 2.1, and
am wondering if there is a more recent one. I haven't
managed to get it running. If you got DNET from a fred fish
disk, what # was the disk.

thanks.

dnet-2.20 (available via anonymous ftp from ftp.uu.net in
/amiga-sources/dillon/) works ok on my Sun4/75 running SunOS 4.1.1.
There's some timing/protocol problems when running at high speeds
(like 9600bps) over dirty phone lines that I haven't solved yet, but
other than occasional lockups, it works ok...

By the way, comp.sys.amiga is dead.  Use comp.sys.amiga.datacomm.

	On another note... Has anyone been able to get DNet running on SYSV.4?
I could get it compiled past the socket stuff with a BSD switch, but it still
got sonfused when dealing with terminal sizes... (Just a hardware guy, I'm not
supposed to know how to make it work... =} )

I was running it on our schools dual processor Solbourne (SunOS 4.0.3D)
and was having no problems at 9600.  The biggest problem I had was in 
connecting back to the amiga from the Solbourne, if you hit the Ctrl-C key
the dnet program on the unix side would go crazy and eat about 90% of the
CPU. (all system calls...)

Wow... I along with 10 or so other people here have been running it off
of sun 3's for a year and a half with no problems (major ones anyways)
most of us use it at 9600 or 19200.  I have found that it provides us
with the best and fastest error-free communications at these speeds.

Good for you.  But do you have really dirty phone lines?  I doubt
they're as bad as the ones I use, which are almost certainly tickling
a protocol error.

How do you figure that this is version 2.20?  When I got it (yesterday) the
README file told me that it was still 2.10.  Needless to say I was very
disappointed.  After using 2.00 for the past 1.5 years (and having it work
quite well), I was ready for an upgrade.

Maybe if Matt is reading this..  Is there a REAL update to DNET.  I would 
like to see a new version that is stable under 2.0.  I would also like to
see added support for SYSV Unix because that's all I have access to.

Could these be possible?

Thanks,
Joel

	The sources are new (fterm.c etc) but the binaries
	aren't. I had to recompile everything (and fix some bugs)
	before I got it to work. I also fixed snfs.c (Unix side).
	Doesn't Matt compile and test his stuff?
