This exact same problem happens on my wallstreet. I'm not yet 100% sure,
but I think this is because minicom sets up some kind of timeout on the
open call via an alarm signal which fails since the powerbook internal
modem will block the opening process for about 2.5 second in the open
call. We added this tempo since the modem is only powered up when the
port is opened, and it needs approximately this time before beeing able
to answer commands. This used to cause most connection scripts
(especially default PPP scripts) to fail.
Fixing minicom is in my todolist, I'll try to give it a look next we.
