Has anyone successfully used a terminal with Macintosh Minix?  I have
been able to get a login prompt and to type a username and have it
echoed, but receive no password prompt.

I am running Minix 1.5 as distributed from Prentice Hall, with fixes
from this newsgroup for 68000 machines, the configuration dialog box,
the ps command, and the MacPortable.  I have set the line up in
/etc/ttys as "2j2", and connected a Zenith Z29 running at 2400 baud
with even parity.  In general, I can send output to the line, but have
never successfully received input from it.

Ultimately, I am trying to attach a braille terminal so that a blind
student can work on the Minix project for an operating systems course.
But I thought I'd start out with a regular terminal and move to the
braille terminal once the regular one works.
