After I installed RedHat 7.2 on my laptop(selecting 'Everything'), I cannot start minicom. The error information is as followed: configuration file not found... /dev/modem not exist.... The RPM package minicom1.83.1-16i386.rpm has been installed correctly, and the related files such like /usr/bin/minicom, xminicom can be found, bbut /dev/modem doesn't exist. I don't know why. Last time after installing, I can use minicom without any extra settings. But this time it doesn't work on the same laptop. Could anyone help? I appreciate...
