I'm trying to use internet socket on lynxOS (386) and sunOS (SPARC) . My problem 
is I can't get a socket on LynxOS to listen and accept connection request
from the SunOS. Whenever the Sun tries to connect, the operating system on 
Lynx crashes. BUT, it works ok when both process are on the same machine
( lynx-to-lynx or sun-to-sun ). It also works when I listen & accept connections
on sunOS from LynxOS.

I am tring this using the simple example program in the sun's network programming
manual. Also the technical support at lynx gave me two example program to do
the same thing. 

  get.c - create a socket, listens and accepts connections. Data send through
			 the socket is display on screen.
  send.c - tries to establish a connection to get.c, write a string to the 
			 socket and exits.

Thanks.
