See if "setserial /dev/ttyS0" works.  It should report something like
this:

/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4

If so, the problem is with minicom.  If not, the problem is with the
kernel or with the hardware setup.

If you have a working lspnp and setpnp, you can use those to examine and
change the hardware configuration.  If you have tpctl, you may be able
to use that (I don't know if tpctl works on a T30).
