	Do you guys have to do this in every newsgroup?  "Does TRSDOS just 
seem to bog your computer down?  Run Linux on your TRS-80!  It can run DOS
programs!"  

	The other guy did have a relevant point though.  FreeBSD is, at 
present, lacking in documentation.  However, the situation seems to be 
improving.  (I will retract my statement when some kind soul tells me how to
get dynamic SLIP running! ;) 

	By the way, no one ever complimented the sysadmins of those sites on
their fine taste in operating systems.
