Hello Allan,
os9exec does not need a kernel or an RBF file manager: this functionality is emulated. As my own real OS-9 reference system is a V2.9, I think most program files should immediately work, as well as OS-9 V3.X programs. The kernel functionality is emulated, it is not realtime and it might behave slightly different compared to the original kernel for several reasons.
For the wise terminal: Are your programs using the termcap library ? If it is hardcoded it might be a difficult task as you would need an original wise terminal or emulation then. os9exec is not using the device descriptor/driver/file manager concept, all these things are emulated. So it is not possible to add a driver to os9exec. Serial line implementation is quite different for all os9exec implementations (MacOS, Windows, Linux), so no general answer can be given.
An alternative solution is to use a telnet login: This will work if the original ISP (internet support package) of Microware is installed.
Best Regards,
Beat
