|Hi,
|	Just changed over from slakware 3.0 to redhat 3.0.3 and seem to
|be having a lot of problems. Minicom will onlyt run as root (after
|complaining about a stale lockfile. When run as a user, it pauses for
|nearly a minute at says that no termcap database is present.

Works fine for me. Make sure minicom is setgid uucp and that you have
set up a defaults file as root.

|Anyone offer some suggestions here. I'm getting annoyed with this supposedly
|superior linux distribution quite quickly.

All software distributions have bugs, even ones from big vendors. Take
the positive view: it's a learning experience.
