I am unfamiliar with UDEV. How did you use it? I went over the man page but not sure where to start. I changed the permissions to 0666 and ran Csmain. It didn?t like that, I got a failure message. > ln -s /dev/ttyS0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/COM1: I switched back to 0644 and used the above code. It doesn?t matter what COM* I use I can get Csmain up and running and go to add a link and it can?t open the port like it?s busy. I get the same message in VirtualBox when I forget to shutdown Rslinx for AB PLC?s. Hope this is useful.
