  • Won't it be "listening" by default and show you onscreen whatever comes over the serial port after you simply start it? But by the way you don't really need anything like minicom for this, you just need cat and stty. Commented Sep 13, 2015 at 22:04
  • I don't know, @Celada, I have never used minicom. Just starting it doing # minicom shows only the main screen. Maybe my Utilite device is damaged and sends no output to COM1. So I was wanting to ask about the proper method. Commented Sep 13, 2015 at 22:17
