It sounds like it would be an awesome portable terminal emulator. Are there any good terminal emulator applications for DOS? How is the Minix 2.0 experience if you go that route?

Telix was good, as was CKermit for DOS. Neither supports modern perversions like 256 colors, but they both support VT220 or color ANSI.

Procomm or Telix would likely run just fine in the DOS side. I don't know if Minicomm will build under Minix but I would certainly investigate it.
