(amigash is an A1000) After installing dnet on both systems as per the instructions I had to go back to all the net articles detailing problems and such. From those I got the cliterm up and running. From there it was fairly trivial to install NET: on both systems. (actually did the installation on both systems from the A2000 using dnet :-) ) Anyways after installing everything net: was up and running. One question I do have is a network icon pops up under workbench but does not allow WB access. (get an empty window when the network icon is opened) Also how come a directory called foo is used to hide the remote systems devices? I also used netmount to mount the remote systems harddrive resources, netmount net: dh0 dh0: Strange thing is when I do a dir net:dh0 I get a stripped down version of what is actually on the remote systems dh0. If I do a dir of net:foo I get the entire contents listed. Any reason for this? One last thing, now that I have my serial ports consumed by the LLAN (Little Local Area Network) which would be the best course, get one of the multi-serial port boards, or get the internal modem for the A2000? Would like some comments on this if you have experience with both or either. (email would be best if possible) Oh yeah, I have noticed a lot of traffic about another NET: that runs over the parrallel ports. Anybody know if there are any multi-parrallel port boards for the Amiga yet? Thanks! -- _ /// /_\ Scot L.
