The way I set it up was to start minicom, hit "ctrl-A" then 'o' to get to the setup screen. Then I told it what serial ports to use and databits parity etc. If it's not "detecting" a serial port, you might not have a /dev/ttyS1(should be com2 I think). If you don't have that, make sure you had serial support checked last time you compiled your kernel. The ax-25 howto is great, but I'm having problems completing some of the instructions... no problem with the howto, but my system. I'm running 2.1.131 with most of the options checked. I downloaded and untarred the ax25-utils-2.1.42. And did make to configure, included all the options. Then did make again. The error file is attached.
