Probably not. As near as I can make out, an HSP modem is not really a
serial device at all, but comes with a windows device driver to make
windows think it is one. I am not sure what the program side of this
is, either, whether windows does out instructions to a serial port which
the driver mimics, or whether it uses some other mechanism. If you can
get the IO interface spec for the beast, offer it on one of the kernel
lists, or linux-serial, and probably we will have a driver for it pretty
quick.
_Maybe_ Wine will run the driver and a windows comm app, but I don't
have too much hope for that. I'm pretty sure the comm api just does
open(), ioctl(), read(), write(), and close() to the appropriate linux
device, so the HSP driver would have to fool the linux serial driver as
well.
Maybe you could work it using the native windows user and user32 and
the windows driver for the HSP modem with wine. That way, whatever the
modem driver hooks into should be intact.
If you do, you'll probably be the first. :-)
