(1) yes (2) sorta -- two problems. First, there is a word ordering problem bug so it only works if the two machines (amiga and unix machine) use the same word ordering The second problem is that it cannot handle more than 20 locks+open_files All in all, it is better to use putfiles or getfiles to transfer information. > Okay, so I have some more questions, will DNet allow me to have multiple >shells on the UNIX side running in windows on the Amiga? (Last question, Yes, you can run multiple FTERMs on the amiga and thus get multiple csh's. >I promise!) What is the minimum number of pins needed (to DNet to another >Amiga) and how much cable can I run between the two stations? A three wire cable (2,3,7) works just fine if you remember to turn off CD handling (-h0 option), but if you can manage it you should connect CD as well (forgot which pin that is) -Matt > Thanks! >-- >Brian Heil ) University of Iowa -- Matthew Dillon dillon@Overload.Berkeley.CA.US 891 Regal Rd. uunet.uu.net!overload!dillon Berkeley, Ca. 94708 USA

Now that's service! Thanks Matt. I'll give a try this weekend to get it set up and post if it works (okay, more realistically I'll post if it *doesn't* work!).
