=============================================================================

This verion of minicom-1.78 has the additional 'histsearch' feature, 
described in doc/HistSearch, and a few changes, it no longer gives 
a warning when started without the -s switch, it goes right into 
terminal mode.

There are also other additions to minicom-1.78, read /doc/Readme.jl
for info on them.

Color in on by default, to start minicom up in mono mode,
do this.>  ~# minicom -c off  <-Turn off color.)

You can put this in the /etc/profile file to turn color off.
export MINICOM="-c off"

All minicom defaults can be changed by starting minicom
this way.>   ~# minicom -s  (Then.>  [save setup as dfl]

To Install minicom, runscript, lrz, lsz, modemu, man pages, all...

minicom-1.78-s/linux# INSTALL-MINI   <-Run script to install all.)

You can look at INSTALL-MINI to see where things will be installed.
/usr/bin/minicom runscript ascii-xfr xminicom modemu lrz lsz mtelnet
/etc/minirc.dfl minicom.users

Minicom can be run in X windows...# startx  (Then.>  # xminicom

If you want to compile minicom do this.

You need libncurses to compile minicom.

minicom-1.78-s/src# make

Modemu is a program that will allow you to use minicom over a
telnet connection, after you're slip/ppp connected.
