Hi!  I just ordered MINIX from P-H and I have a few questions about it.  My
main question has to do with having multiple users.  How many users could
be supported without a very large drop in performance?  I think I mentioned
on here once before that I was thinking about putting up a public access
system using MINIX.  Would this be feasable?  And if so, are programs like
'mail', 'uucp', 'rn' and such available?  I am a Comp. Sci. student and
would have not problem porting it, but it would be nice if someone else has
already done it, just to cut down on the amount of work I will have to do.
Thanks.
