Charles,

You can pass minicom -S to pass a script nut it sounds like you may get
what you're by running minicom -s once (creates an /etc/minirc.dfl). You
could use a bash script to create and echo settings into that file once
you see the format.

Also, individual commands can run like:

minicom -d 5551212 to dial.

man minicom to see a bit more
