Nope. Assume that as soon as minicom (or any other app) lets go of
the serial port, the parameters go into a completely unusable state.
That assumption will save you trouble in the long run, even if it
isn't always correct. (:
Minicom has an option 'Q' which will quit without resetting either the
'modem' or the serial port. I've used minicom to open and initialize a
serial port, test the device on the other end, then after exiting without
reset ('Q'), sent bulk data to the device with `cat <filename> /dev/ttyS0`
Conversely, minicom has a command-line option '-o' which will bypass modem
initialization on startup, but it still initializes the serial port.
