Greetings.  I have a few questions about MacMinix.  Please email all
replies to me, and I'll post a summary of them.

(1) How can you use the serial ports in Minix?  I.e. I want to use the
Printer port as an output for "lpr" and "/dev/lp" and other such printer
things.  I'd like to use the modem hooked to my modem port as both a
dial-out (terminal) and dial-in (login) line, so I can call out to other
Unix systems through Minix, and call in from other computers.  How can I
do this?

(2) Is there a local system messages (e.g. "msgs") command available for
Minix?  Where are it's sources?

(3) Is it possible to get uucp and/or News running on minix?  Where are the
sources for it?  How can I get it running?  etc.

(4) Are there any Minix-ready shells available (i.e little or no patches
necessary)? Where are they (i.e. which ftp?)

Please mail replies to gousha@cory.Berkeley.edu, thanks.
