First of all, thank-you amit and viral for the scripts.
1.I am having problem using minicom. The control keys don't work. Not even
the Control A/Control A Z (which is for help). Any idea ?
BTW, when starting minicom, a message flashes that it could not find any
configuration files and hence using defaults. (I don't think this could
be any problem, but mentioned this just for info.)
