Christopher, I didn't answer this when I first read it, because I figured that DNet was the important part of the question. Your answer to Richard makes me think that the important part is just getting an Arexx message to the other machine. If this is the case, I would recommend you take a look at ROBBS, which stands for Rexx Object Building Block System. In particular, SerMod is a serial port program that is controllable from ARexx, and allows any ARexx program to communicate via the serial port. It will match strings (10 strings may be armed at a time), send data, route incoming data, and more. It's here in the LIBs (Arexx programming, I think), as SERMOD.LZH. Check for it by using 'BRO KEY:ROBBS LIB:ALL'. This will get you to both SerMod and DispMod. DispMod may not be necessary for your application, but then again, it could be handy for such things as checking status, manual control of remote machine, etc. -larry
