[comp.os.minix] info wanted on minix emacs-like editor & network capabilities

mason@casca.robots (Ian Mason) (01/28/91)

I am posting the following for someone, however he does read the
newsgroup (comp.os.minix).

--------------------forwarded message-------------------

I am very keen on getting MINIX, but have the following two questions
still in my mind:

1) I understand that there is an emacs-like editor in minix. I wonder
what major things are missing. Can any of you minix users tell me what
you find missing in the minix emacs-like editor that you find most
annoying/disappointed/really-like-to-have-it ?

2) How's minix network capabilities? Ethernet support? TCP/IP or SLIP
or whatever? 

Thanks in advance --- Delman.
