On the Unix end, if you use 127 (^?) for the interrupt character, when
the Amiga end sends it, the Unix end will be, er, interrupted.
"stty intr ^c; dnet" is a workaround; I've patched NetOpen and NetClose
in the source to really stomp on the tchars and ltchars structs
(see tty(4)).  I had similar problems; I'd get an Fterm window and
then everything would hang.  This made it work like a charm.

Also, the distribution code is a bit paranoid in that it won't send *any*
control characters over the link, not even tab, newline, form feed, or
carriage return.  The Amiga end will send those four (only), but the
Unix end will quote them.  You may want to change the BadCtl[] array
in packet.c.  (Locally, I've hacked it so it only quotes ^S and ^Q,
and you can use a -x flag to specify what to quote.  -xqs is the default.
You might not want to be so aggressive.)  This will have a beneficial
effect on upload times of text files.
