Minicom doesn't care which port you use. It might be that some
people have saved configs of 6 years old that still contain
references to a cua device, but that's a problem any serial
program has.
>From the manpage of any recent minicom:
Serial port setup
*A - Serial device
/dev/tty1 or /dev/ttyS1 for most people.
/dev/cua<n> is still possible under linux, but not
recommended any more because these devices are
obsolete and many newly installed systems with
kernel 2.2.x don't have them. Use /dev/ttyS<n>
instead.
