Hi,
I have updated minicom package in Fedora to 2.4 version. By this 
occasion I review old patches that were present in Fedora and probably 
were never sent to upstream. All patches are updated to work with recent 
version of minicom. Some are less or more important but I think that 
they can help more people if they will be in upstream.

Regards
Jan Görig
