I have several Minix questions here. 1) Are there any multi user BBS programs available for Minix? 2 users would be fine, more even better. If there isn't a 'real' BBS for Minix, what about doing something like: use 'rn' for a public message base, 'ean' for private mail, and 'sz' for file xfers? I assume Minix has the same style of file security that Unix does, <ie user, group, others>? 2) There was a discussion about having more than a 2 user Minix with an AST Multiport board. I have a serial card with all 4 ports on the card. It isn't intelligent however, could that be used to get 4 users on Minix? 3) Is there NFS for Minix? I would like to have one machine running Minix and another running DOS and PC-NFS, could I then use Minix as a server? The machine this would be running on: 286-10, 4 meg ram, 60 megs of storage. Thanks, Charles
