In fact, my main objection to minicom is that it doesn't do one
thing. Minicom conflates the concept of a (serial) communications
program (cf. cu, tip, kermit) with that of a terminal emulator
(generally non-existent in the unix world unless you count screen
or xterm, whose primary purpose is somewhat different).
