What you're missing is a couple of devices.  I don't remember off hand
which ones, but try these for starters:

/dev/tcp
/dev/null
/dev/zero (if using 3.2.2)

If that doesn't work try adding these, one at a time, 'til it does:

/dev/ip
/dev/icmp
/dev/emd (or /dev/ni depending on version)
/dev/ptmx
/dev/pts...


Let me know how you make out.  SVR4 on the Amiga 3000UX only requires
/dev/tcp and /dev/zero, but your mileage may vary.
