I managed to get tip to work, but what term type do I tell the Sun I'm
using?  What are those "last message received XXX times" errors about?

Anybody got kermit 5a (?) going?  Is the vt10[02] emulation good?
Is there a better term program?  MS-Kermit is very nice, but I hope to
be leaving that behind.

rz gets *lots* of checksum errors with my 9600 modem.  The modem is
doing error correction, so that I don't think *that's* the problem.
Is BSD too slow to keep up?  Will a 16550 (?) UART help?

extract complained that it couldn't find src01.install.  Why not?
Should I worry?  Why isn't extract a script so that I can fix it when
it breaks?

I understand why a real crypt wasn't included, but Linux has one.
Shouldn't it be easy to plug it in?  What will have to be recompiled
besides login, su, & passwd? (crypt, I guess:-)

Oops, one more.  I've got a DCA ethernet card; I don't know anything
else about it.  It's not recognized on boot-up.  Is there any chance
that I can do something easy or am I likely SOL?
