Minicom will be installed mode 4511 (setuid) owner uucp, and group dialer.

Is this ok? [y] 

Minicom needs to know what device your modem is hanging off of.
I (the porter) have adopted Satoshi Asami's lead of using /dev/modem.

Lets see if you have too...Nope, you haven't (yet).
The patches to Minicom hardcode /dev/modem.
Would you like me to make this link for you? [Y] 
From the list below, what port number is your modem attached to?
cuaa0   cuaa1   cuaa2   cuaa3

Enter the number X from cuaaX above : cuaa0
Error: /dev/cuaacuaa0 doesn't exist.
*** Error code 1

i take it from ports collection we need to specify /dev/sio0? is it?
