I grabbed a copy of DNet v2.10 from Fish Disk 294. I then set up the Amiga side, no problems. I then tried to set up the Unix side. It appeared to compile OK. However, when I try to run the unix side of DNet, I get a 'segmentation fault'. I'm running it on an Apollo under BSD. Any idea, suggestions, etc. would be most appreciated.

I think it is DNETDIR. Then you need to have all your configuration files setup in that directory.

I saw mention of a newer version, which I'll grab and see if it helps anything.

I dont remember just where the code is but it is in the initialization section for setting up the sockets. you have to change the order of the socket commands.(sorry, its been over six months since I did it and I don't remember exactly where the change is) I did get it to work so there is hope.

Has anyone successfully compiled DNET on a NeXT? I want to network this
thing to my A500. It includes BSD source, right?
Is 2.13 the latest DNET (on ab20, right?)?

I doubt they're as bad as the ones I use, which are almost certainly tickling a protocol error. ...tad

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...
Does anyone have the following files that are missing from the
distribution on uunet?
dnet/amiga/s/dnet.config
dnet/amiga/s/dnet.servers
dnet/amiga/s/remote-startup
Btw, dnet/amiga/doc/VERSION.DOC says:
DNET
V2.20
December 1990 release, fixed up FTERM a little (now saves window
position and dimensions on exit to a config file)
new option, -f<font>.<size> (as in -ftopaz.8) to set the window
font, also saved in the config file so from that point on you
no longer need to specify the option.
V2.10
. . .
But note the modtime of fterm.c:
fterm.c 10628 ----rwed 13-Dec-90 12:57:10
vs. the modtime of the executable:
fterm 17348 ----rwed 27-Nov-89 02:25:48
Hmm, FTERM wasn't recompiled for this release.

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?

I do intend to revamp DNet in the future, but right now I have no easy access to a UNIX machine so can't really do anything, and the code is all torn apart too :-( So, people will have to make do for now. -Matt >-- > >Scott J.

Hi! This is probably a FAQ, but I haven't seen a list yet so... Has anybody tried modifying DNet to run on SYSV systems? I have an HP workstation here at work running SYSV, and I would love to be able to run DNet. If anybody has tried to port it, or can explain how it can be done (or why it can't), please reply. I will post a summary if I get enough info. Thanks. /----------------------------------------------------------------\ | Dan Tessier PHONE : (613)765-2380 | | Bell-Northern Research, Ltd.
