Take a look at what Matt wrote......

I am no Linux expert but have been running redhat 3.0.3 for a littlw while
now.     Initially you must run minicom as root to build the default config
files.   After that I can run it as a user but get the same message as you,
my solution was to run it as

	minicom -t vt100

Minicom comes up fine, I have choosen to use 'seyon' an X-based comms program
on my linux box now anyway :)

I would like a permanent solution to the termcap problem though....

If you add the line 

`eval dircolors` to your .login file or shell config file ie:
.bashrc for bash and .cshrc for tcsh/csh

You should get color-ls going...

Hope some of that helps...
