I went through the exact same exercise. Hyperterm worked but minicom did not.
I remember it was a config file for minicom that needed tweaking
so that is probably where the issues lies.
What is in your minirc file?
This is what I have which is not the auto-generated file:
~$ cat /etc/minicom/minirc.ttyS0
pr port /dev/ttyS0
pu baudrate 19200
pu minit
pu mreset
pu mhangup
