I only have one program that requires serial ports that I run with WINE - the EW Uploader, used to set parameters in an EW flight recorder and download IGC flight logs from it as ASCII files. IIRC it uses the Z-modem protocol for downloads. Details are in the AppDB: no winetricks were needed to get it working. It worked with WINE 1.0.1, 1.1.9 under Fedora 8 and is currently working with WINE 1.1.23 under Fedora 10. I'm using a NetMos Technology PCI 9845 Multi-I/O Controller, which provides 6 serial ports, to talk to it. Both motherboard ports (COM1 and COM2) are permanently connected to other devices. Martin
