I'm trying to configure SeaClear2 to run on an Asus eeepc 900 using a BT GPS but cannot redirect input from rfcomm0 to com1 (the serial port which SeaClear is looking for. Data flows through to rfcomm0 but I cannot redirect it to com1. I have set up symbolic links in the .wine/ folder and its sub-folder .wine/dosdevices/ but nothing happens and I have also set the SeaClear.ini file to show "rfcomm0"="com1". With an earlier version of Wine this all worked Ok but, running version 1.1.21 seems to have caused things to go wrong. Any ideas would be welcome ..... does anyone else have the same problem?

Also what are the permissions on /dev/rfcomm0? manxices wrote:> and I have also set the SeaClear.ini file to show "rfcomm0"="com1".This is wrong. It should be com1=com1.

dimesio This is the latest version available to me using Synaptic Package Manager on the eeepc 900 (and is, I think) supposedly a stable version of Wine. I?m not sure how to get a later version without possibly causing more problems. The struggle goes on ....
Manxices, http://www.winehq.org/download has debs available for ubuntu/debian.

Versions that old are no longer supported here. The current stable release is 1.2.
