I have two questions. In setting the COM ports someone posted that the Symbolic link should be ie... /dev/ttyS0 > com1 Is it suppose to be upper or lower case for COM1???? Also has there been any recent work on the COM ports? I have an application that works fine with vmware but under Wine. The COM port isn't even seen.

Could you maybe install a simple terminal program on wine and check whether this one sees COM1. Of course, you'll also need to make sure nothing else is using /dev/ttyS0. Daniel

You need to add the com ports into the registry in order to get them seen by your app... [Hardware\\Devicemap\\Serialcomm] 1015709345 "Serial0"="COM1" "Serial1"="COM2" "Serial2"="COM3" "Serial3"="COM4" You don't have to add all of those, but at least your app should see the com ports after that. I'm unsure why, but this doesn't appear in the docs anywhere. I only found it on a blog. You still need to make the symlinks to make it actually work, but some apps use this key (whether they should or not, I don't know) to figure out what serial ports are available.
