What you described is exactly what I had done. It created the following files: /home/kent/.minirc.dfl /etc/minicom.users /etc/minirc.dfl And the directory, /etc/diald This configuration results in the following error, ~$ minicom d minicom: there is no global configuration file /etc/minirc.d Ask your sysadm to create one (with minicom -s). > The filenames and paths have nothing to do with the > name or location of the configuration file. > /etc is set in the Path. > > When in doubt, "man minicom" comes through. It's in there, quite a ways > down. I read about the files at the end. I don't see anything in the man page about correcting what I'm experiencing. I'll keep looking. Any other ideas? Thanks, Kent
