------------------
minicom normally needs to be setuid root so normal users can access the
devices. In Debian, minicom is not setuid root and users need to be added
to the `dialout' group to be able to access serial devices.
After minicom has been installed, you should run minicom as root with the
`-s' flag to set the system-wide configuration, which will be written to
/etc/minicom/minirc.dfl.
If the terminfo definition provided with minicom doesn't work for you,
the font can be switched using `setfont'.
