I'm looking for help using dnet. Here's the setup: Amiga 1000 to AMiga 500 using a null modem cable with only pins 1,2,3 active (GND,RXD ) I execute dnet using the following options: run dnet -X -b19200. ( I execute this command on both amigas). The problem is sometimes the FTERM window comes up and everything appears fine but when I do a getfiles or putfiles garbage is displayed on the opposite computer. In other words, I can't do nothin. I'm not even sure if I'm using the proper commands with the proper sub-commands/switches. Do you have to set preferences serial commands to some specific value? Do I have the right pins on the modem cable? Is Clark Kent really Superman? Inquiring minds want to know. In all seriousness, I would appreciate it if you guys could push me in the right direction.
