Terminal emulation and serial ports

[Robert Moskowitz <rgm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have to reinit a firewall that can only be done from its console port, 
and I do not have an XP system with Hyperterminal on it.

So I went through the archive and learned that minicom could do the job 
for me.  I installed it and went to configure it (minicom -s).  I can 
set the speeds, but the challenge is selecting the serial device.  I 
have a Serial-to-USB dongle, and when I connect it, the gnome hardware 
browser is showing a FIDI usb serial converter that was not there before 
connecting the dongle.  But what /dev/thingee do I put into the minicom 
configuration?
