I can't remember if this has been covered, or if it is a problem
specific to my setup: I have never been able to get "term" to work
properly. I can set the line parameters no problem, access the
modem and log into a remote system, but after an indetertimate
period of time from a few seconds to a few minutes, "term" fails 
on a ttywrite, hanging the application. I can kill the process
and try again with the same results, but eventually this leads
to a system crash. 

Is this yet another problem related to 68000 Macs? I'm running
a Mac SE w/ HD and 2.5 megs RAM.

While I'm on the subject, it would be nice to have a summary of
known Macminix problems/bugs on different platforms (SE/plus, II, 
CI, SI) I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who are wondering
exactly what works and what doesn't, who's fixing what, and
when to expect fixes/enhancements. I'm assuming questions that 
have not been getting answered (like the infamous multifinder 
problem) are still problems, but it would be nice to get a more
useful answer to these queries than just silence. Is everyone
completely in the dark on this one. Summaries, please!!

Thanks in advance to all those who take the time.
