Hello,
I've never used minicom, but the man page has something about setting
the serial device:
CONFIGURATION
By pressing C-A O you will be thrown into the setup menu.
[...]
Serial port setup
A - Serial device
/dev/tty1 or /dev/ttyS1 for most people.
Otherwise, you can just use GNU screen ("screen /dev/ttyUSB0", or
gtkterm. I've used both of them with a USB to serial adapter and I could
connect to Cisco switches without any problem.
