Listmates,
I like minicom, but I need to resize the window size to something like 140x60 instead of the default 80x25. Can I do that with minicom? Man page isn't helpful, or I'm blind. If minicom can't, is there another modem application that can do this? The reason for this is that I can't stand running vi at 80x25. That's just horrible.
I think mine does run bigger. I just start it on a big xterm.
The problem might be that the other end, which is what really controls the display, does not want to use bigger sizes. Or maybe you have to export some environment variable (COLUMNS/LINES, perhaps) from inside minicom.
A month ago I used the serial port to dump kernel messages, which some times use very long lines (firewall messages). And I used minicom... it has no limits, I think.

I will try it in an x-term. Why it is different for konsole, I don't know but with a README file that starts out with "Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here" it's got to have some good stuff in it! Also, I'll try it from within screen, but again, I don't know what that would add except another program on top of xterm or konqueror. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
