That was my experience when I did use it too.

It does have some advantages... like working over ssh on a machine with
no X libs.  Some people swear by it.  The U-boot guys don't like it though

Minicom warning:
================

Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).



Anyway I settled on Commi, which seems not to be maintained any more,
but since it just seems to work as far as intended and still compiles
that's not critical.
