Need to tweak something in Minicom..... doesn't seem to be sending anymore. I have uninstalled and re-installed without any change.
New dumb question but, how do I 'quote' the last reply in my post. The quote message in reply option is greyed out. Should I not be using the 'Quick Reply' window?

Did your USB device name for the adapter cable change?
They are assigned dynamically in Linux, if you plug your USB devices in, in a different order, then your adapter cable might not be /dev/usbTTY0 (or whatever it was) any longer.
If this is what happened, then it is possible to assign it your choice of device names in the udev rule-set.
For instance:
I have a machine with three USB-Ethernet adapters on them, so I id them by their hardware address and then assign them a distinctive name.
I.E: To heck with Linux's idea of what device name they should have.
A similar rule can be done for that USB-serial converter.
If you want to give that a try, I will have to ask you a few more details from your running copy of Linux Mint.
