I've never had success with serial ports in Wine although it has been some time since I tried. Several months ago on another list someone reported the later beta releases of Wine will work with built-in serial ports such as yours, but not with USB to serial adapters that I use. You may wish to give the later Wine 1.3 releases a try: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa Unfortunately, I think the Wine developers main focus is on office apps and games, not hardware access such as serial ports. 73, de Nate N0NB >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
