Dear MINIX mailwatchers,
	This is a personal query and those not interested plese delete
and read on.  
	I had my first exposure to MINIX while taking an o/s course
at UT Arlington, Tx.  I got interested and put myself in the mailing
list.  I see that MINIX has been upgraded to 1.3 from 1.1 (which is
what I have got).  Not only that I see people writing code for "kermit"
etc. for the MINIX.  And a few days ago I saw a message (many of you'll
must also have seen) about 'Networking performance of MINIX' by none other
than Andy Tanenbaum himself.  I believe that Dr.Tanenbaum has already 
come up with a distributed MINIX somewhat similar to his AMOEBA dist. o/s.
Now my questions.
  1.   Has the o/s for MINIX been updated from scratch to incorporate
network calls or has some software like TCP/IP for IBM/PC/XT/AT has been
interfaced with the MINIX system?
  2.   Is there such a software package available at all? ( I heard of some
DOS based TCP/IP or PC/IP existed - this isnt the one or is it?)
  3.   Is this the proper forum to address such queries?
Thanks in advance for all who take time to reply.

Omkar Rath.
