Yes, you're right.

Sure Seyon is the best I've ever seen on the PD market, but I just wanted
to have a real good non-X communications program so I searched for a better
package than kermit (kermit is really lousy !). I tried different packages
from the linux community and minicom was the only one where I got no problems
at all !
