Thanks a lot Kenn - that worked a treat. 19200/8/N/1 it is then.
Sorry for asking such a basic question -
I was looking for complicated answers to a simple question obviously.

The M20 defaults to 19200/8/N/1. Set minicom to use 19200
and
you should be able to talk to the modem.
I don't think it autobauds like regular modems.
