I gave up on minicom, as I could never get it to "just connect"
without complaining that there was no carrier signal on my null modem.
The docs don't seem to have a null-modem example that I could ever
find. I've met a few people that have gotten minicom to work on a null
modem cable, but none that had their config file handy!
I use microcom instead. It just works.
