Right.  The two programs at either end of a null modem cable must agree
beforehand exactly what speed the line is to run at, otherwise neither
will see what the other is sending.  If you get parity, data bits,or
stop bits wrong, you should at least see garbage.  Oh, windows tends not
to work the control lines according to RS-232, so you might need to set
minicom to ignore Carrier Detect, by default I think it expects carrier
detect to be on if something is at the other end, otherwise it shows a
status of Offline and waits.  stty(1) or termios(3) setting would be
clocal/CLOCAL, sorry I don't remember the minicom setting and don't have
minicom installed just now.  Hardware flow control might not work right
with a windows program either; null modem cables made for windows tend
not to have those lines even present.  You might need to turn off
hardware flow control in minicom.
