USB2Serial - works with "cu" but fails with "minicom"

Hi,

I have an USB2Serial adapter to connect to my SUNs.
I can't use it with minicom.
But when I use "cu -l /dev/ucom0", I can login/do_things/logout correctly.
I tried Eterm, Xterm and console (in case it matters), from $USER and $ROOT.
I also tried to recompile minicom after "/dev/modem@ -> /dev/ucom0" was done.

I had minicom working on the same laptop running NetBSD...

What would explain minicom fails when cu works ?

Thanks for answers,
	Jo
