Paul,

Thanks for the setup info.  Getting minicom up and running is something I have
wanted
to do, but never got around to.  One problem I am having is after running
through the setup
while in su, I can run it just fine as su, but not as user.  I get :

minicom:  cannot open  /dev/ttyS1:  Permission denied

I have been trying to figure out where to run chmod to get user access.  I
already have user
x permission on minicom.  How do I clear the permission problem?
