As a new Minix user I have several quick questions

A) I understand that v1.3 of minix (I only have 1.2) supports the serial port.
Can you hookup a terminal to this? (As a second user) how about a modem for
both dial out and dial in.... Is there a uucp system and a mail system setup?

B) I can't get Minix setup on my ST4096. I have 3 partitions, two of 33 MB,
and one of 13MB (in that order) I want to install minix on the 13MB partition,
but I get "can't fsck a sector >65335... Huh? Can someone help?

C) I can't get onto bugs.nosc.mil from my site.  Is thaere another anonymous
ftp site that archives the minix utils and things?

Thanks a bundle in advance.
