many windows applications that use serial ports "just" work in Wine, just by making a symbolic link between the virtaul COM port and , for example, /dev/ttyUSB0
some applications don't.
by using ttylog, I discovered that these applications seem to be able to *transmit* data, but not receive.
I guess there's a bug in the WINE API/DLL that they are using.
Two examples of such "non-working applications" are:
-TopCom Wireless manager (utility for use with GPS/Pulse/Watch)
-Bantam battery charger (logging/monitoring utility)
both work fine with a /dev/ttyUSB port mouted as a COM1 in a virtual windows machine, so we know that none of these applications need a special driver to work, just to communicate with a COM port.
