Well, the "small group" includes Bdale Garbee, probably Phil Karn himself,
and maybe one or two others. I don't think there is anything formal going
on, and your work certainly wouldn't be wasted. I was intending to put a
lot of work on it myself, but due to some recent events haven't had any
spare time for the past few months (I haven't even gotten a copy of Phil's
code yet, or gotten Minix up on my Toshiba T1100+). ((Sorry, guys!))

Maybe Bdale Garbee (who's been most active in getting Minix up on the T1100+)
could say a few words about where "Karn/TCP" and Minix stand... Bdale?
