OK, since I have a direct connection between PC and Eval Board, I don't
need a modem, so how, Oh guru of the Minicom, do I discombobulate (get
rid of) the modem and how do I keep it from sending anything to the
modem?  I wanna talk direct to the board using (for this project) just
plain ASCII.

How duz I werk wif this here minicom?
