In dosdevices is the command ll (2 l's) in terminal window a valid command to see what devices are there.? I found this in LinuxForums. Now, Wine has simulated ports and drive letters in the ~/.wine/dosdevices directory. In there you will find symbolic links to the Linux paths of your physical devices. Go to that directory in a terminal window and type "ll" (two L's). You should see something like this: c: -> ../drive_c com1 -> /dev/ttyS0 com2 -> /dev/ttyS1 ... lpt1 -> /dev/lp0 thanks, donde
