I've just finished setting up minicom on a Mac to use a Prolific pl2303 usb to serial adapter. Here's what I did

  1. downloaded the driver from here
  2. installed the driver and rebooted my mac as per the instructions
  3. checked in /dev, the usb to serial device was there as tty.usbserial
  4. installed minicom from ports using sudo ports install minicom
  5. edited /opt/local/etc/minirc.dfl inserting the config lines from my minicom guide
  6. added the alias from the guide

Job's a good one! Now I have minicom working perfectly in Terminal.app for Cisco devices.
