minicom config




Hi, I'm trying to get away from my modem failing to hang up properly and
am attempting to install mimicom.  I went through the configuration
process and as root, the program at least starts the dialup process.
I aborted because I didn't want to be on line while in root.  I then
switched over as regular user and got the following message:

~$ minicom d
minicom: there is no global configuration file /etc/minirc.d
Ask your sysadm to create one (with minicom -s).

Well I used "minicom -s" at the command line which takes me to the main
configuration screen.  I assume the file  /etc/minirc.d
goes in   "Filenames and paths"    the problem is I don't know which
line to put the file in from the choices below:

   A - Download directory :
   B -   Upload directory :
   C -   Script directory :
   D -     Script program : /usr/bin/runscript
   E -     Kermit program : /usr/bin/kermit -l %l -b %b

I would guess "Script directory" but I really don't have a clue and I
don't want to screw this up.  I am also assuming that I put
/etc/minirc.d
in either "A", "B", or "C", as root and the program will make the
appropriate file for me?  I have been through the minicom man page and
don't see anything about  /etc/minirc.d.  I tried messing with the
minicom.users   file to see if that would help, but it didn't.  I would
appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Kent
