Hi Mike You have to call the link "com1" or something similar for it to work.
So e.g.: $ ln -s /dev/ttyS0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1 Also you need to be a member of the group that has access to the ttyS* devices, in Ubuntu it's dialout, if you're not do: $ sudo adduser YOURNAME dialout (obviously, replace YOURNAME with your username). Then log out and log back in for the change to take effect. 73, Thomas 2E0ETT On 12 April 2011 12:45, Mike Markowski <[email protected]> wrote: > Is anyone using Wine successfully on linux to update his K3 or K144XV? > > Unfortunately, it seems there is only a Windows version of K144XV Utility, > but I > can't get it to work in Wine.
