I am running MacMinix on a IIci 4/105 with system 6.0.7.  I find that Minix
takes over the serial ports when I boot it and I am unable to sustain my
network or modem connections.  I understand that it is good for Minix to 
be able to access these serial ports but is there a way to disable Minix from 
requesting the ports so I can do serial IO with another multifinder process?
BTW: the result of accessing the serial ports when minix is active is a hard
crash on my system.

Thanks for any suggestions:
