- Hi guys and gals,
-
- For some reason I would like to re-compile the kermit program. Since
- the linker with MINIX cannot handle the job due to huge size of the
- program, I would like to compile the kermit with TURBO C in DOS. Thus I
- need a utility that converts the executable from DOS to MINIX format.
-
- I also have difficulties using my modem since it is mounted at COM4. The
- dial function in kermit is disabled (strange), so I don't know how to
- dial the line for connection.
-
- I shall appreciate if any MINIX fan could give me some clue.
-
- Just one comment on the document that comes with MINIX 1.5 package: it
- doesn't supply sufficient details for users. Example: the manual with
- MINIX 1.5 should address problems in use of kermit: how to set up special
- files for it and re-build the system if necessary--I have to figure it
- out myself (with helps from Andy) that I should (and could) use tty4 for
- my internal modem. Then slowly I figured it out that I should re-build
- the system so it can handle tty4. Now the problem is that the kermit
- with MINIX cannot dial!
