Naturally, 5 Minutes are I post I fix my own problem. It was the command
line switch -l. Bloody stupid defaults by RedHat.. Still don't understand
why the term was set to mc which I don't have..

: Also what are the correct file privs for minicom and the /var/lock

: lockfile in /var/lock.

Still need the answer to this if anyone has the info. Minicom worked fine
under slackware, but not so good under RedHat 3.0.3
