I think my major issue has always been the dial strings. If they're set,
minicom seems to think it has to dial for the connection to be active. My
first step is usually to zero them all out. More recently, I've been
using screen as a terminal emulator, thanks to Trammell's suggestion some
time back. Since I've been a happy screen user for 9+ years, I tend to
have it installed already. :)
$ screen /dev/ttyS0 9600 vt100
I can't argue with the simplicity.
