I've got a serial multitech gprs cell modem. I want to be able to talk to it 
via the uart serial port on the 7553. I'm told this isn't a "real" serial port, 
but rather one that's bridged with the onboard fpga.

I just want to be able to get to a point where I can do an AT+CGMI command at 
the thing, and see it respond back with the manufacturer ID.

I've tried minicom in a variety of ways, pointing it at /dev/pts/0. That was 
before I realized I needed to be doing something with the xuartctl program. 
Even after I ran that tho, minicom still would never connect. So I tried using 
the xuartctl interactively, still no luck.

I'm missing a bigger part of the picture I think. If anyone could help me 
illuminate the part I'm missing, I'd be uber grateful.

I know the model and cable work, because we were able to issue commands at it 
under Windows with HyperTerminal using the same modem/cable.

TIA
