two ways to do it: 1 - make windows leave your usb/rs232 adapter alone, and let the vm have that device
2 - let windows have the usb/rs232 adapter, and let vmware provide the vm with a (virtual) com port. I have found approach 2 to be the least problematic, but a bit more difficult to set up. It's documented in the xastir wiki (howto section, IIRC). -Jason kg4wsv _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
