Minicom setup
From Attie's Wiki
Setting up minicom has always caused me hastle... follow these steps:
- install minicom with your favourite package manager
$ yum install minicom
- add any users that want to make use of serial ports to the 'dialout' group (on Fedora 12.0)
- create /etc/minirc.* files with group set to 'dialout' and permissions of 664
- to configure minicom use
$ minicom -s [config]
this will not open the port - for a serial port, not a modem, enter
minicom configuration -> modem and dialing
and clear fields A-L
