	I'm interested in possibly using Minix for a college radio station
	system and need some info on multi-user minix (pardon my general
	ignorance on minix):

		Do all versions of Minix support multiple users?
		How many?
		Do the memory constraints become a problem?
		Can the ST support more than the console and the RS-232?

		What sort of computing horsepower is needed for 
			2 users (Would a 8MHz PC w/640K be OK?)
			4 users?
		Have drivers for multiple serial ports been written for Minix 86?
	
	Thank you very much,
