It works great for 8n1 transfers. However if I try to switch to 7e1, it 1) doesn't switch and 2) after the current session is over, there is no response from the modem, thus I have to exit minicom and start again. I've tried compiling it with the linux flags (the makefile says it works but it doesn't). If -DPOSIX is included, minicom will not speak to the modem at all. Does anyone have any input as to how to get this to work (in 7e1). Also, aside from minicom and kermit, are there any other comm programs (not X like seyon) for freebsd? Adam
