Sorry, but I can't help much further.

My assumption is that Listen should be able to connect to external
network ports, because it can do that with SerialForwarder. I know
that SF has a "quirky" message format that needs a preamble character
of some kind -- I think more like Telnet.

First I would make sure that the leds are blinking on both your motes.
Blink does exactly that, and most basestations blink when sending or
receiving. Then I'd look for _something_ supplied by your net adapter
that reads messages to see if you get anything.
