[Xastir] Good serial port comm program for linux

[Dale Seaburg]

OK guys,  I'm getting thoroughly frustrated with minicom.  It's not  
minicom's fault, but the stupid security on the serial ports.  My  
lack of linux experience is showing through.  I need to be able to  
talk to my tnc until I get things ironed out and working like I  
want.  I don't want to reboot into windows just to run Hyperterm  
(which works EVERY time) to help configure the tnc.  I'd like to stay  
in linux.  I have used minicom in years gone by, but I can't seem to  
find the right combo to get it to talk to COM1 (tty0?).  If I don't  
run with sudo, I get security errors accessing just about any serial  
port I try.

Help!
