Hi,

I am having trouble using minicom since upgrading to the latest
slackware version. Minicom works fine, except doing long downloads
( greater 50k or so ) when I get repeated errors and the download
eventually aborts.

It seems the problem is due to hardware flow control, even though
I have it turned on (and software flow control turned off) under
minicom because:
   - CTS is always lit (modem light) with linux/minicom
   - using Windows/Terminal CTS goes off at appropraite times

Just wondered if someone else has had this problem?
