I got it working with very helpful suggestions from list people last
week.  You need to unpack on a linux box and change every reference to
reserve word "aux"  to something else,  next comment out the tweak the
code to disable the root checking,  like this:

dobrin AT THEODOLITE:/c/temp/minicom/minicom-2.1/src> diff config.c
config.c-orig 
185,190c185,188
< /*
<  *   if ((m->flags & PRIVATE) && real_uid == 0) {
<  *       werror(_("You are not allowed to change this parameter"));
<  *       return;
<  * }
<  */

Make install to work corectly

Subject: Program to "talk" to serial port?

I need a program that can talk to a serial port on the local computer,
the way Hyperterm does for Microsoft Windows.

I would like this program to present its user interface in an xterm.
If that is not possible, perhaps a program that is itself an X11 client
would do.

I was able to compile "minicom" under cygwin.  However, when minicom
launches, it tries to access /dev/ttyS1, which is not provided by
cygwin.

Would someone suggest a program that is suitable, or a program that
might be portable to cygwin.  I am willing to do a bit of work on this.

Thanks for any suggestions!
