the only thing that can cause Minicon to work incorectly is a incorectly
configured serial port
to verify that the serial port is set up properly:
#ln -sf /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem (for com1)
once in minicom Press Control + A Then S this will take you to minicom's
setup.
Verify that the port is set to either /dev/modem (if the above symlink is in
place) or the propper ttySx port here they are
/dev/ttyS0 (com1)
/dev/ttyS1 (com2)
/dev/ttyS2 (com3)
/dev/ttyS3 (com4)
If this is all corect then that is the only thing that would be screwed up
in Minicom
