Serial port access through Terminal in Leopard Server

I downloaded minicom and also use a Keyspan USB to Serial adapter. I gave up actually trying to use Terminal as a terminal (funny, huh?).

Incindentally, minicom (free) can be gotten through MacPorts (www.macports.org). I like it 'cause it's readily configured for baud rates and such.
