If I can run minix on my PS/2, then I'm sure you can run minix on your
Tandy.  The only problem you may have is that you may have to tell the
bootloader to use the bios for disk access if you have a weird hard drive
(like I do).

Also, there is a program called Odyssey (from simtel) that is much better
than Telix.  Only problem I've found is that it doesn't support all the vt
sequences in ansi mode, and in vt mode it doesn't do color.  I was working
a while back on a terminal emulator, and while it is not finished (no
configuration, no downloads), it does have a lot of neat features
(autodetection of emulation needed, etc.)  I'll post the source and exe's
on my server if you want.
