I'm having issues running xastir in a VMware vm that I suspect are
virtual machine-host machine issues.
I've got everything loaded and going, including handing control of
a USB/rs232 adapter to the guest OS. The extremely strange (and
frustrating) thing is that the guest machine can write to the D7
over the usb/rs232 adapter, but data from the D7 never gets back to
xastir. I can turn off the vm and fire up hyperterm and talk back
and forth just fine, so it's not a cabling or hardware issue.
Just in case someone else runs up on this, I applied this trick:

HowTo:VMware#Working_around_broken_autodetection_of_serial_ports
and it solved my problems. The systems in question are two Dell
laptops with built-in modems and two different (Keyspan and Prolific)
USB/rs232 adapters, both exhibiting the same broken behavior before
applying the workaround.
