I know Linux can do better, but how? Run minicom and configure it for the device by pressing <ALT>-O and modifying the settings. Once you have all settings modified, save seetings as something other then default.

You can always create a shortcut on the desktop that does this by simply making the execute line the following. rxvt -bg black -fg white -e minicom <settings> & mm> I'm currently running SuSE 6.3. mm> Thanks! mm> Mark Myers mm> in warm Phoenix, AZ mm> mm> mm> -- S.Toms - tomas@primenet.com - homepage is in the works SuSE Linux v6.2+ - Kernel 2.2.13 You may be recognized soon.
