Thomas,

If it's any consolation, I have the latest Minicom from SunSite, and the
problem I have with it is that it will not transmit any data to the modem. 
It does toggle DTR but does not transmit data.

I haven't found a workaround, unfortunately.  Minicom is a much better
program than Seyon, IMHO.
