[Wine] Comport Serial Port Card (8 Ports)

It is some time that I using AirMail3 with wine.
I have the latest version of Wine but after I configure the Ports from 
ttyR0 to ttyR7 and running AirMail3 this application is not able to 
comunicate using the equivalent COM1 .... COM4 ports.

I'm not sure if Wine is converting correctly ttyR0 to COM1 and so forth.

The result is that for the Hurricane season I can NOT use E-Mail under 
Emergency situations.

Any Ideas and Help ?

Thanks

[Wine] Re: Comport Serial Port Card (8 Ports)

I have also been trying to get serial ports working on my system.  To start
with, create symlinks in your .wine/dosdevices directory that point to your
serial ports.   If you don't do this, wine will default to com1 ->
/dev/ttyS0

in your case, 
cd ~/.wine/dosdevices
ln -s /dev/ttyR0 com1
ln -s /dev/ttyR1 com2
etc....

Then you must ensure your linux user has permission to access the serial ports. 
On my system (Ubuntu 8)  I added my user to the 'dialup' group.

Unfortunately, I can send data out the serial port, but not receive it properly.

I don't know what my problem is.  I can send data out the serial port, but
data sent to the serial port is delayed by around 10 seconds, which makes my
application unusable.

I've been adding trace statements to the source code to get an idea of
what's going on, but haven't gotten very far yet.

Let me state my problem clearly.

I am trying to get the Garmin Mapsource program to communicate with my GPS over
a serial port.   Mapsource autodetects the GPS but will not transfer data to or
from it.

For debugging purposes, I have connected a null modem cable from my Motherboard
serial port  (Intel 865G chipset)  to a USB/serial adapter.  I can communicate
perfectly between two minicom terminal programs, but when trying to communicate
between minicom and teraterm under wine I have trouble.    Characters typed in
the teraterm window appear in the minicom window immediately, but characters
typed in the minicom either take 10 seconds or so to appear in the teraterm
window, or do not appear at all.    The symptoms are identical regardless of
hardware handshaking settings or whether the teraterm/wine program uses the MB
or USB serial port.

Starting teraterm,  typing some characters into minicom, and quitting teraterm
produces the following trace:

By adding trace statements and recompiliing, I determined that the ReadFile
function is called and it always returns false, setting a STATUS_PENDING error.
