    From your words below i presume you need a terminal program to talk to a
    telephone modem, you certainly dont have to be root to use minicom, you may
    however need to change the permissions on /dev/ttySx (x) being normally 0 or
    1.
    As root change those permissions with;
    chmod 666 /dev/ttySx or change the ownership to you account name with;
    chown user /dev/ttySx

    Another program is 'seyon'.
    Anyway, if you use PPP to connect to your ISP surly you can simply use telnet
    to connect to the remote host.
