[CLUE-Tech] minicom

[Jason S. Friedman]

I'm having trouble connecting to my 678 modem.  When I start up minicom,
I see this on my screen:

Welcome to minicom 2.00.0

Press CTRL-A Z for help on special keys
                                                     
.x<à.x<à.x<à                                         


Here's my /etc/minirc.dfl:
# Machine-generated file - use "minicom -s" to change parameters.
pr port             /dev/ttyS0
pu mdropdtr         0
pu rtscts           No

I've searched high-and-low on the 'net for information and found almost
nothing.  I'm pretty sure I'm plugged into the right serial port -- when
I plug into the other one I do not get the ".x<à.x<à.x<à" line.
