I am trying to get an home automation system called Thinkboxx to run on a linux system, Thinkboxx has a windoze program that controls the Thinkboxx over the com port. the program seems to be running well, but when it tries to open the com ports it say that it has an "Unknown Communications problem". I think my configuration of wine and the com port is ok, i have spent some time reading manuals and howtos but cant seem to find the flaw. can somone help. Here folows some output i got using -debugmsg +comm,+file trace:file:CreateFileA COM2 GENERIC_READ GENERIC_WRITE OPEN_EXISTING trace:file:CreateFileA opening device 'COM2' trace:file:DOSFS_CreateCommPort COM2 c0000000 40000000 trace:comm:SetCommTimeouts (60,0x405c521c) trace:comm:BuildCommDCBAndTimeoutsA (COM2 96,n,8,1,0x405c51d8,(nil)) trace:comm:EscapeCommFunction handle 96, function=6 trace:comm:EscapeCommFunction CLRDTR trace:comm:EscapeCommFunction handle 96, function=4 trace:comm:EscapeCommFunction CLRRTS Does anyone know what the error might be?
