OK, I did what the site said. Then I had to remove the extant com1, which had ignored a chown command, as root. Now I have this : [btth@localhost ~]$ cd ~/.wine/dosdevices [btth@localhost dosdevices]$ ln -s /dev/ttyS0 com1 ln: creating symbolic link `com1': File exists [btth@localhost dosdevices]$ rm com1 [btth@localhost dosdevices]$ ls c: d:: e:: z: [btth@localhost dosdevices]$ ln -s /dev/ttyS0 com1 [btth@localhost dosdevices]$ ls c: com1 d:: e:: z: [btth@localhost dosdevices]$ -- and still can't connect to the GPS (which I do have set to the Garmin interface, yes; and I've tried both with preference set to com1 and set to auto). -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Fedora 8 & 9; Alpine 1.10, Pan 0.132; Privoxy 3.0.6; Dillo 0.8.6, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, Opera 9, Firefox 2 & 3 Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.
