Re: Question RE: Minicom

[Michael Smith]

^Q quits minicom and leaves the phone connected.  It's an easy-setup way to dial
and then quit, leaving an open connection to the other side that you can start ppp
on.  I did it for about a year to connect to my dial-up ISP.

If you are using minicom in X (xminicom), it doesn't use the keys the same way that
it does in the console mode.  I think you just type ^-key, where in console mode
you type ^A key.
