Sounds like you just have spurious break characters being sent.

To get this on demand, minicom keybinding will default to either ALT-F or
CTRL-A F (depending on your meta setting) for sending a break sequence.

I'm sure I'm just missing a minor detail on how to turn it off (under
slowaris you'd just use the 'kbd' command) but one workaround might be to
enable Magic SysRq key in the kernel - AIUI this turns BREAK+CHAR into a
sysrq sequence and BREAK+BREAK into the normal break equivalent.

I'd also be interested to know the command(s) to enable the alternate
break sequence (if such a thing exists).  That'd make BREAK tame and move
the functionality to a sequence like ESC, ~, B 


I don't have this problem with minicom, though (using 1.83.1-4.5).
