Default to ANSI Terminal Emulation in Minicom

Question

Is there a way to default to ANSI terminal emulation in minicom instead of VT102 ? Once I'm in minicom, I can press Ctrl+A, T and then toggle using A.

I tried minicom --ansi, and minicom --term=ansi but this neither has an effect.

In your minicom config file (/etc/minirc.x or .minirc.x) put:

Yes for ANSI, No for VT102.
