"minicom" dosent exist on my system. 'minicom' command results in file not
found message and man minicom results are simular. Also there is no entry
in info for minicom. The entry in dmesg for ttyS3 is different from ttyS0 &
ttyS1 it may be helpful. There was somthing strange happened. I booted
normally and at the GUI login cntl-alt-F1 to get back to command line. When
finished I attempted to transfer /var/log/demsg to floppy and received the
file does not exit message. Knowing it had to be there I issued 'startx' and
received the X is running message. So I did a 'killx' and another 'startx'
which booted directly into KDE bypassing GUI login Then I went to console
and reissued the command to transfer /var/log/demsg to floppy and file not
found message appeared. Called Konk(sp) and moved to /var/log and demsg was
present ckicked on same and transfered it to floppy. That is the long way
around. When I clicked on the logout symbol I returned to command line.

Hoyt
