Hello everyone...

	I have two questions: First, what can anyone tell me about MINIX, the
public domain UNIX for PC's ? Opinions, comments ? (If it's at all for real,
it's so cheap I can't believe it...) Does it run on the Rainbow ? If not, is 
it difficult to modify the source code ? Second, I'm having trouble with Kermit
2.29 for the Rainbow. It has zippo documentation, and I'm not sure the
documentation I have for MSKermit applies. I keep getting messages like "You
don't have any disk drives" or "Unrecognized baud rate" even when I'm only
going 2400 baud. Thanks...

P.S my keys to the left of my numeric keypad don't seem to work when I'm using
the Rainbow as a terminal (i.e. Help, Do) when I'm using my mainframe editor
(an extended version of EVE). Why is that ? Wrong terminal definition ?
