Hello Bill,
try this:
Linux handles serial devices different from windows.
Your usb-serial adaptor probably will be recogniced as /dev/ttyUSB0,
while your Windows-Software running under wine only can handle COMx.
So you need to tell wine what device it should use for serial
communications.
You can do this by linking the linux-device to the windows device.
Open a console and type:
ls /dev/ttyUSB*
You should see a reply like this:
/dev/ttyUSBx
where x is probably 0 (zero).
Now, assuming the x was 0 (zero), type (case-sensitive!) or simply copy
and paste:
ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1
If you type correct, this will put a file named com1 in
/home/yourusername/.wine/dosdevices
where /.wine is a hidden directory. Check if the file is there by typing
ls ~/.wine/dosdevices
Amongst a number of drive-letters, you should find a file named com1
(This step might or might not be neccessary:
(Then log out and back in. If you don't know how to log out/in, simply
(reboot.
Now run your application under wine. Advise it to use com1.
I expect this to work, but if it doesn't , you probably need to set some
permissions. I can help.
