Plea for help:  how does one go about using either term or kermit under
Minix?  Assuming that the proper tty.c has been compiled (so that the
rs232 code is there); assuming a Minix O/S level of 1.3d; and assuming
familiarity with things like baud rates, COM1 port addresses, etc
the following  questions arise:

     where does /etc/ttys fit into this?  What entries go in there?
     where does stty fit into this?
     Is /dev/tty1, which I understand is defined as an ordinary
       character device with mknod, to be the same major device
      as tty, and a different minor device?  A completely new major
      device?

Any and all help humbly and gratefully accepted.
