Re: Minicom lag problem

["Michael Robinet" <michael robinet mankato msus edu>]

The lag doesn't just start after I connect to my ISP.  It starts when I
start minicom, like when I'm typing in the Initialization string and when
I'm typing in the commands to dial my ISP.  I was wondering where I could
get Xminicom or just an updated version of regular minicom.  Anyone know?
