[olug] Redhat: /dev/ttyS0 needs a 'tickle' from setserial

[neal rauhauser]

   My /dev/ttyS0 seems to want a 'tickle' from setserial before it'll 
work for minicom. Its not the first minor hardware oddity this IBM T-20 
has shown me, but I hope its the last. FYI I've been very pleased with 
the T-20 platform overall - well supported for FreeBSD, RH9.0 install 
just went in and worked without any fiddling except for minicom.
