Hmm. I just did an su and did

and it gives me a setup screen which describes only one serial port.
I used CTLA-Z
to pull up a help screen, and I don't see any option to change to
another port.
Ctrl-A Z O choose "Serial port setup" then A
I see a way to change what setup is being used, which setup could be
a different
serial port.
What technique are/were you using to change ports?

When logged on as ME, that option is disabled. It gives me
a box with "You are not allowed to change this parameter"

Hi All,
I never log in as root, unless for a specific reason. I do run minicom
as root, though, hence getting that option. I shall run it as a normal
