Issues on Fedora Core 6 with minicom

[Jeff Sadowski]

I'm using glibc-2.5 with the

Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled
serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
serial8250: ttyS2 at I/O 0x3e8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A

It could be the serial driver being used also I don't know all I know is
after I send on it the first time I stop receiving till I open up
cutecom send something with cutecom and exit.
