Version 7.0 of C-Kermit communications software was announced a few
days ago.  You can find it here:

  http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckermit.html

As yet, I haven't heard about it being tried on any version of Minix.
For those who haven't seen it in a while (or at all), it's become a
rather large program, and so obviously will not build on Original
Minix.  However, in recent years, people have built it successfully on
various platforms and Minix versions, e.g.:

  Macintosh m68k, Minix 1.5.10
  Atari ST, Minix ST 1.5.10.3
  Commodore Amigia, Minix 1.5.10
  PC with Minix/386 1.5 and 2.0

So there's hope.  Anybody who would like to try a Minix build, please
let me know so we can add it to the archive.

There's also a brand-new "mini Kermit" that's very small and portable,
called G-Kermit:

It should be buildable on any version of Minix at all, even 1.0.
Again, anybody who would like to make a Minix binary for it, please
contact me.

Thanks!
