I have two questions: First, what can anyone tell me about MINIX, the public domain UNIX for PC's ? Opinions, comments ? (If it's at all for real, it's so cheap I can't believe it...) Does it run on the Rainbow ? If not, is it difficult to modify the source code ? Second, I'm having trouble with Kermit 2.29 for the Rainbow. It has zippo documentation, and I'm not sure the documentation I have for MSKermit applies. I keep getting messages like "You don't have any disk drives" or "Unrecognized baud rate" even when I'm only going 2400 baud. Thanks... joe connorton P.S my keys to the left of my numeric keypad don't seem to work when I'm using the Rainbow as a terminal (i.e. Help, Do) when I'm using my mainframe editor (an extended version of EVE). Why is that ? Wrong terminal definition ?
