I have asked this before, but has anyone successfully used serial port /dev/ttyS0 under wine? I am trying to run a windows program for controlling an amateur radio - a 'tentec pegasus'. My linux is a debian derivative ... sidux ... and I have installed wine from the sid repositories. The program runs ... and displays a radio dial which looks correct. However, because I cannot access the port, I cannot talk to the radio ... so the dials don't work. The program gives a message that it cannot establish communications with the radio. 1. Is the com1 poprt setup under wine ... actually happening? 2. Is a wine user given permission to open the com1 port. (When I use virtualbox and winXP) I have to be sure that my name is included in the cboxusers group ... and maybe this wine difficulty is a permission thing? 3 Are there some help files or logs which will tell me where the process is going wrong? Using virtualbox and winXP is a bit of overkill for just 1 small program!! Richard -- -- Irena & Richard Jenkins Canberra, AUSTRALIA ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
