        Conversions are not allways so easy...

        Because UZIX doesn't need a serial interface to run.
        BUT UZIX TCP/IP needs. :)
        So, you can run UZIX. You just can't run UZIX network
applications. :)

> And it's not just for me, there are a lot of people with Sunrise RS232's.

        Again: if someone send me detailed info about programming Sunrise
RS232, I'll make a driver for it, no problem. Erik Maas send me some info,
but it's not sufficient.

        I don't like mailx either. I prefer PINE. :)

        I know dutch people that runned UZIX at least once.
        And I can tell you that Manuel Bilderbeek (who sign this list) is
allways asking me about UZIX and helping me a lot with beta-tests. And I'm
very grateful for his help.

        I'm not asking you to drop out your MSXDOS2 and use UZIX. I'm
asking you to try it (at least once), give me your impressions, send bug
reports. UZIX is not finished. There is a lot of work to do (including HD
support, ok?). UZIX is not a substitute to MSXDOS2. UZIX is an
alternative. If you like it, you can use it or not.

        Yes. That's why I'm looking for this info...
