Because there is apparently notermcap support for color, these escape sequences are hard-coded intominicom. Some terminals (such as the Linux console) support color withthe standard ANSI escape sequences. With this flag, you can override the environment TERM variable.This is handy for use in the MINICOM environment variable one can createa special termcap entry for use with minicom on the console, thatinitializes the screen to raw mode so that in conjunction with the -lflag, the IBM line characters are displayed untranslated. By default, minicom uses '-aon', but if you are using such a terminal you can (must!) supply theoption '-a off'. Some terminals, notably Televideo's, have rotten attributehandling (serial instead of parallel). w Turns line-wrap on at startup by default. L Ditto but assume screen uses an ISO8859 character set. Many PC-unixclones will display character correctly without translation (Linux in aspecial mode, Coherent and Sco). With this flag on,minicom will try to translate the IBM line characters to ASCII. l Literaltranslation of characters with the high bit set. This only works on terminals that support itand that have the relevant information in their termcap or terminfo database entry. M Same as -m, but assumes that your Meta key sets the 8th bit of thecharacter high (sends 128 + character code). Minicomassumes that your Meta key sends the ESC prefix, not the other variantthat sets the highest bit of the character. This is the default in 1.80and it can also be configured in one of minicom's menus, but if you use different terminals all the time, of which some don't have a Meta or ALT key,it's handy to set the default command key to Ctrl-A and use this optionwhen you have a keyboard supporting Meta or ALT keys. m Override command-key with the Meta or ALT key. For nowit is assumed, that users who are given access to a modem areresponsible enough for their actions. is made, so a normal user could interferewith things like uucp. It is potentially dangerous though: nocheck for lock files etc. Thisoption is handy if you quitted from minicom without resetting, andthen want to restart a session. Minicom will skip the initialization code. For most systems, reasonable defaults are already compiled in. This is very handy if minicom refuses to start upbecause your system has changed, or for the first time you runminicom. When it is used, minicom does not initialize, but puts you directly into theconfiguration menu. COMMAND-LINE -s Setup.Root edits the system-wide defaults in /etc/minirc.dfl with this option.
Minicom config serial#
DESCRIPTION minicomis a communication program which somewhat resembles the sharewareprogram TELIX but is free with source code and runs under most unices.Features include dialing directory with auto-redial, support forUUCP-style lock files on serial devices, a separate script languageinterpreter, capture to file, multiple users with individualconfigurations, and more.

Minicom config drivers#
This is a PL2303 and from everything I've read no additional drivers are required. I am trying to connect minicom to a serial device that is connected via a USB-to-serial adapter.
