[NTLUG:Discuss] minicom

[fredjame]

I have minicom set up as root on my (Mandrake 9.1) Linux laptop, and it
seem to be doing fine from there, but when I try to run minicom from my
user login I get the following error:
    Cannot create lockfile. Sorry
and if I try to run "minicom -s" to change the parameter for lockfile it
says I may not change that.

I would appreciate any help you might be able to offer as I have not
been able to find any helpful documentation as yet.
