Where does wine setup the com ports?? Maybe I can't access the port because winme has not set it up correctly? I have the symbolic link in dosdevices, and I am already a member of dialup and uucp ... so that should be right ... IF wine has the comport setup correct. Still looking to control my rig through my ONLY com port. Richard -- -- Irena & Richard Jenkins Canberra, AUSTRALIA ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
