Many thanks, Hugh! I did what you suggested, found that it wasn't 
installed, and then figured out how to get it installed. This went 
swimmingly, but when I ran it, it came back and told me, "There is no 
global configuration file /etc/minirc.dfl". It then told me to ask my 
SysAdm to create one for me. This will be tough because *I'm* the SysAdm, 
and I don't know Jack about what I'm doing. Here's hoping I can find some 
documentation on minicom somewhere.
