Not without more information...

things like

Is this new?  have you always been able to dial in with a terminal
emulator before?

What kind of garbage?  ocasional bad chars?  a stream of punctuation?

What is the other end expecting?  Is it supposed to be a PPP only
line, or does the other end know you might be on a terminal emulator?

If it is a continuous stream of punctuation type chars then it is
probably a PPP only line. especially if you can type your login
OK, and the rubbish only happens when you have logged in.

You either find a dial in line that understands ascii connections or you 
don't use minicom, you use PPP (see the PPP HOWTO)

First port of call is the Uni help desk, asking them if you can dial
in using a terminal program or if the lines require PPP.
