Ha, I have only ever used screen for serial comms and only learned about Minicom from this thread

Exactly the other way around for me! I've been using screen since forever, and had no idea it could do that. Minicom I still know from the dialup dark ages.
When I worked with embedded systems, I used both, and didn't really understand the differences and nuances between them, and now I wish I did.
