Good evening Leo at all,

The last two days I've made many GOOD expierences with NetBSD
and so I wish to thank Leo for the much porting work and also
my unknown follow-up ALPHA-tester :-). Who was it ?
Anyway now it works and I have a fast (?) and powerfull UNIX-OS
on my Falcon. 

Also I was able to solve some nerving problems I mentioned in my
last mail (hope you got it, Leo):

	stty (unable to use BACKSPACE and DELETE keys)
	solution is:	stty sane
After that command 'erase' is set on BACKSPACE-key automatically.
So one must have 'stty sane' in his .login (.profile) before
changing other correcting keys.

	pppd - works at once and fine 
command syntax is exactly like in MiNT-KGMD and my chat-script
is also from there.  Long live the compatibility of UNIX ;-) !
Only the device name is different, it is /dev/mdm02 on Falcon;
therefore you got a ppp-connection with
	pppd connect 'chat -f scriptfile.chat' mdm02 38400
(I suggest all on port-atari know how ppp works, if someone not
I will mail him)
All usual net-cmds work (ping,traceroute,rsh,ftp,telnet) fine
except rlogin --> see my mail 'Bug Reports 1'.

What I miss is a overall description of the contents of several
system directories. Although I am sysadmin of several SUNs and HPs
I recognize many different directories on NetBSD, which I don't
know:
/	altroot  sbin     stand 	(why /bin not -> /usr/bin ?)
/usr/	libdata	 libexec  obj    sbin

At the moment I build my first own kernel according to Leo's
description in his mail 'FAQ 2'	- since 5 o'clock !!
Alone the 'make depend' longs 45 minutes. Since that 'make' runs
about THREE hours. As it compiles 'netinet/tcp_input.c' at the moment,
I suppose it will run another 5 hours ! Is that normal ?

Greetings, Helmar
