I get: /dev/ttyS0. UART: 16550A. Port: 0x8010, IRQ: 16 I failed to mention that I'm using a pcmcia card with 2 serial ports on it. Code: dmesg | grep tty Gives me: [ 7.663918] 0000:16:00.0: ttyS0 at I/O 0x8010 (irq = 16) is a 16550A [ 7.664392] 0000:16:00.0: ttyS1 at I/O 0x8018 (irq = 16) is a 16550A > ln -s /dev/ttyS0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/COM1: I've tried all sorts of COM* com* with no effect, or are you talking about the colon on the end?
