#186821 — Minicom problem

Hi,

I sometimes use minicom to talk to some equipment over a wired 
connection.  Minicom comes up off line and I can't find what makes it go 
on line.  I look through some of the menus and at some point it decides 
it is on line.  Maybe it has a timeout.  How can I make it cut out the 
foolishness immediately go on line?

Best regards,
Fred Boatwright

I am not aware that it has timeout. Perhaps the problem is on the other end
or if you configure too high speed, it might be unstable.

What is the version of minicom you use? On which system (debian,kernel
etc) ?

Last time I used it it without issues was in jessie, couple of months ago.

Try at lower speed/rate.

The version is 2.6.1 running on Wheezy (sparc).  The speed is 9600 
baud.  Once it goes on line there is no problem.  It is just when the 
program starts it starts off line.

I just tried to determine if there is a timeout.  I found that when 
minicom starts the status line says offline but it actually is working, 
on line.  The status display changes to online after about a minute.

So, I guess I don't really have a problem!  I don't care what the status 
line says.

Best regards,
