I got it working with very helpful suggestions from list people last
week. You need to unpack on a linux box and change every reference to
reserve word "aux" to something else, next comment out the tweak the
code to disable the root checking, like this:

Subject: Program to "talk" to serial port?
I need a program that can talk to a serial port on the local computer,
the way Hyperterm does for Microsoft Windows.
I would like this program to present its user interface in an xterm.
If that is not possible, perhaps a program that is itself an X11 client
would do.
I was able to compile "minicom" under cygwin. However, when minicom
launches, it tries to access /dev/ttyS1, which is not provided by
cygwin.
Would someone suggest a program that is suitable, or a program that
might be portable to cygwin. I am willing to do a bit of work on this.
Thanks for any suggestions!
