[CentOS] Minicom and Ncurses

Hi,

I have to do some maintenance on a CentOS 7 proxy installed on a routerboard
without a video card. The only way to access this machine directly is via
Minicom and serial port.

I'm using NetworkManager TUI (nmtui) to configure network interfaces, but
Ncurses rendering in Minicom works in the sense that chickens fly and horses
swim. What you get is a forest of question marks with a few barely recognizable
options lost in between.

Is there some magical trick to render Ncurses interfaces correctly in Minicom ?

Cheers,

Niki
