Just because it's a port won't change it's emulation characteristics. I'm not familiar with how minicom does business in terms of emulation since I don't use it. My guess is that it would work the same way it does in Linux, emulation and all. At least on the PCs, the definitive terminal emulator that we use here at the UO for our Banner applications is Kermit95. The unix kermit may be just as good in terms of terminal emulation, but again I don't use them that much to know. >From an xterm, though, apps run on our vms boxes look just fine, so I think you should be OK. You'd have to try it to be sure. Hope this helps.
