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.
