Bugs.nosc.mil (don't know the internet numbers) archives all messages posted
to comp.os.minix, both those relating to PC's and to ST's.  The serial port
driver from Howard C. Johnson is definately there.  Look for files ending
in lzaz.att.com. There were something like 12 parts to the RS232 posting.
Another good place to find archives is the Mars Hotel BBS (301-277-9408)
It's accessable through PC-Pursuit and it archives most of the source and
interesting articles posted to this newsgroup.

Dale Schumacher posted a version of compress that handles 16-bits on the ST,
sometime earlier this year.  Check bugs.nosc.mil or the Mars Hotel.
