It's no trouble, though you may get more or better advice posting to one
of the mailing lists or on irc (#winehq).   I'm cc'ing wine-users in case
someone else has experience in this area, hope you don't mind.

It's possible, I'm sure.  The question is how much work it will take. 
Rarely do things work "out of the box" on wine, unfortunately.  They
usually take some tweaking to the install, and sometimes to the code.

You won't know till you try it.  We used to recommend installing DCOM95/98
and a native msvcrt.dll most of the time, but Wine's built-in ones get
better all the time.  So I'd say, try it first, see what trouble you
encounter, and try again.

If the OPC you mention has any relation to what I was posting about
before, it's likely to work better with DCOM95/98 than with built-in COM
DLLs.

The serial port code seems to have had some trouble lately, so you might
try Uwe Bonnes' patches (check the wine-patches in the last week or so) if
you run into issues there.

Post again here if you've tried and had trouble, and good luck,
