I am hoping to begin work soon on adapting a Unix version of "net" to Minix.
The version I am working with treats each server as a separate process,
which is the only viable way to go under Minix, as Phil's program would be
much too large to run as a whole. I will post something here when I get
something up and running.

    I'm not sure as if KA9Q himself didn't slap up a version of net for Unix.
If he has, and I'm quite sure he did, it probably wouldn't take much patching
to get it to run on Minix. All it needs is to be archaic as hell and it should
run just fine under Minix 1.2++.

Yes, a lot of work on the Unix version of net has been done, particularly
by Bob Hoffman, N3CVL. But the problem is fitting it into the small memory
model under Minix. The only way I know to do this is to give each server
its own process. I have a Unix version that is set up this way, but I have 
yet to look closely at the code.
