Thanks, Nate. I'm lucky enough to have a real serial port, so no usb issues to worry about. Also, the utility to open up transmit for MARS ran fine under Wine. It's just the K144XV and K3 utilities that don't pick up the serial port. Numerous other ham related programs are successfully using /dev/ttyS0, so it's very likely a Wine configuration problem (though the directions are pretty simple!)
Since it sounds like your Wine set up is working, can I ask what you had to do? As I read the directions, I only have to: $ cd ~/.wine/dosdevices $ ln -s /dev/ttyS0 com1 and then run Wine. Yet, the utilities show no serial port! Frustrating. 73, Mike ab3ap On 04/12/2011 09:27 AM, Nate Bargmann wrote: > It has also been noted that the com1 symlink must point to a *real* > serial port, i.e. /dev/ttyS0 or such.
