Hiya, everybody,

I have an A1200 and an A500, and am trying to link them via parnet.
I've installed, and re-installed the parnet software several times, I've
checked and double-checked the cable several times - hey, I've even read the
documentation! ;)  But, it still doesn't work. :(

First I run netpnet-server on one machine, and then on the other (taking care
to use the opposite number for the unit as the one that is in the parnet
mountlist entry.  Then I mount the NET: device on both machines.  So far so
good.  I type CD NET: on one machine, and the Network disk icon appears, and
the current directory becomes NET:.  I do the same on the other machine, the
same happens.  So, feeling adventurous, I try a CD NET:RAM/ on one of the
machines.  At this point, the shell appears to stop responding to the
system... the CD command does not return, and CTRL-C does not work.  I've
tried using different commands, eg. dir or copy, and I get the same result. 
A dead shell, with CTRL-C being ignored.

Help!  Any ideas?
