One of the 'tricks' to using minicom with a serial port adapter (and not a modem on the other end) is to avoid the "setup strings" sent by minicom when you open a port (or start up minicom with a default that opens the port).
Choices:
Disconnect device from end of cable (but leave usb end plugged in); start minicom and let it send the trash to an empty cable. The usb end must remain plugged in so that the usb-serial converter can be configured.
Leave the cable connected, power off the remote device, start minicom so it can do its thing to a machine that isn't listening, bring up the remote device.
Diddle the minicom options and startup strings to
not send character strings that will affect the Kindle listening on the other end.
(things that might be mistaken for user/password or a command or ...)

There is a terminal emulator here (for KT) that should allow you to run minicom on the Kindle (Touch at the moment).
The 3G modem/radio
is a modem that takes an "AT ..." command set (an extended Hayes command set) which minicom is very comfortable with sending.
Somewhere in one of my earliest threads here I posted the links to the command set documentation.
Just in case someone wants to diddle with their 3G hardware.
