MacMinix (and Minix in general, at least version 1.5) used some rather
unusual keys as the defaults for interrupt, kill, etc.; IIRC, ^@ was
interrupt (although I may be mistaken--my Macintosh is some 300 miles away
at the momment).

stty will fix things up for you.  In particular, you want
stty int ^C
(int, not intr--another oddity) to set interrupt to control-C.

There is an option in the configuration dialog box to use a different keymap
wherein option works as control and ~ as escape for ancient machines with
"incomplete" keyboards.
