Just recently I purchased a second Amiga (an A2000 with a GVP 030 board) and
decided I wanted to network amigash with my new system.  (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!
