The man page says;
-m Override command-key with the Meta or ALT key. This
is the default in 1.80 and it can also be configured
in one of minicom's menus, but if you use different
terminals all the time, of which some don't have a
Meta or ALT key, it's handy to set the default com-
mand key to Ctrl-A and use this option when you have
a keyboard supporting Meta or ALT keys. Minicom
assumes that your Meta key sends the ESC prefix, not
the other variant that sets the highest bit of the
character.
Now its been a while since i used minicom, however that sounds like a
resonable explanation.
minicom -s
configure to suit your system, save see what happens.
