Are you sure the weird behaviour comes from minicom? Or is it the
combination of minicom and some of it's backend programs?

I generally have no problem with using stone aged software, but for a
terminal program (which is also used by non-hackers) I prefer using
something with at least a _little_ bit of usability comfort (menues and
stuff). Unfortunately, there is no better thing than minicom around for
Linux...

People use it, so it should be supported. Other question: does my patch
do any harm to your ckermit? If not, what's the problem?
