Yet, the utilities show no serial port! Frustrating.
There was a bug report in the Wine BTS from long ago that attempted to fix some things in Wine's serial port implementation. As I recall, the issue was that the ports do not show in the registry in the same manner as they do under Windows. Unfortunately, I don't think the patch ever became a part of Wine as my follow ups on my systems showed that the ports still did not show and suggested work-arounds did not work for me. As the source for the programs is not available, it's difficult to determine (at least for someone not familiar with Windows) just how the serial ports are searched for and found. Perhaps it is possible that they are using some method not supported by Wine. Such is the downside of closed source software. :( 73, de Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
