Thanks. I tried both /dev/ttyU0 and /dev/cuaU0 in minicom. They both
seem to go to the "initializing modem" phase but when I turn on the
switch with "/dev/cuaU0" configuration, minicom doesn't show anything
on the screen and minicom with /dev/ttyU0 configuration throws out
garbage characters on the screen -

Here's my minicom rc file -

pu port             /dev/ttyU0
pu baudrate      9600
pu bits             8

pu stopbits         1

The USB Serial converter is detected as "Prolific Technology Inc.

Thanks for any further help on this issue.
