I've been trying to install minicom or cutecom on Suse linux to use as 
the equivalent of ms hyperterminal.  I will spare you my whine if you 
can give hints and tips.  will share brewskie when successful.

Having tried it is time to ask - objective is to use linux to connect pc 
as console to cisco router.  the connection is serial port rollover 
cable to router, configuration for this COM1 would be 9600 bps, 8 data 
bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control. 

Offline or however appropriate; will appreciate help.  Online - let me 
have it, tell me how dumb this question is.

thx.
