Hi,. I have some legacy applications for MSDOS / 95 and a new NT version of an application that i would like to use. I have un-commented the lines in wine.conf about serial access but i cant seem to get any MSDOS or win32 application to talk, is this currently supported in (the lateset) wine ? regards --- Matthew J Fletcher NPD Firmware When did ignorance become a point of view ? --- ********************************************************************** Serck Controls Ltd, Rowley Drive, Coventry, CV3 4FH, UK Tel: 44 (0) 24 7630 5050 Fax: 44 (0) 24 7630 2437 Web: www.serck-controls.co.uk Admin: post@serck-controls.co.uk ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

The [serialports] lines aren't normally commented. Do you mean the [ports] lines? Did you put something in those lines that made sense for your hardware, or did you just remove the ; ? The numbers that are there in the sample config do not touch the serial ports on your average ix86 box. (from man setserial) The "standard MS-DOS" port associations are given below: /dev/ttys0 (COM1), port 0x3f8, irq 4 /dev/ttys1 (COM2), port 0x2f8, irq 3 /dev/ttys2 (COM3), port 0x3e8, irq 4 /dev/ttys3 (COM4), port 0x2e8, irq 3 And what do you mean by serial port access? This letter comes by wine through com3. I haven't anything for [ports], just [serialports] "Com1" = "/dev/ttyS0" "Com2" = "/dev/ttyS1" "com4" = "/dev/ttyS3" That's not direct port access, just access by the normal windows comm API - CreateFileA, ReadFile, WriteFile, and so on. Whether a user can get at the comm ports this way is up to the linux system administrator. If you can do it from the linux command line with minicom or cu -l, wine can do it. For direct port access, wine must be run by root, and I don't know how well that works.> > regards > --- > Matthew J Fletcher > NPD Firmware > When did ignorance become a point of view ? > ---Lawson Everything comes from somewhere. Everything has to go somewhere. There ain't no such thing as a free IRQ. ---cut here ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
