There is a reason for this section in the manual: http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.4.

and should switch, but have not yet.

"cu" in probably not what you are looking for. I use it only on boards where I am stuck with S-Record download (usually to program U-Boot instead of a proprietary bootloader that suppors only S-Record download).

Interestingly, I've never had a problem getting kermit to reset the port characteristics to a sane setting when this happens, and then minicom will behave again, for a while.

kermit is my tool of choice, too.
