No I don't think it is TIN but the "homemade" transport system (using inews.mmtp)
because of some trouble getting xmitnews to queue news , something about unexpected
responce from server :400 <G> ...who is respsonsible for that <G> .                      

Serious though , I have had a few problems with dbm.h and compiling the above ,  
haven't got round to fixing it so am using this homemade effort ,works but has 
obviously a few loopholes in the script :-)

What do you want to get an overpriced machine like that for ?? I thought you had
a Pentium ?? That would make a nice NetBSD platform ... as would a HAdes (yum,Yum)
or My Falcon when I the Afterburner get slotted inside ..

For Sure , and that it not too mention the plethora of GEM.SYS replacements about
to materialise for diehard GEM uses who can't afford the hardware needed to run
X11.Although I have noticed some of the MiNT people appearing in the Linux mailing
lists recently so I don't know how long MiNT will continue to be developed at a 
pace ...
