How to upgrade Cisco 675 with linux?

[Patrick Fleming EA]

I upgraded mine(678) using minicom. Once the settings were correct in 
minicom as, set by using root, I did
#minicom cisco (where cisco is the name of the configuration file)
Hit enter at the minicom screen and you should get the 
cbos> prompt. Follow the instructions on power cycling the modem then 
upload and configuration from here:

I did find that if you hold down ctrl+C before powering back up you are 
more likely to get the correct prompt the first time.
