[WT-support] Wintest, Linux and com-port

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Isn't the command:

ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 com9


instead of:

ln -s :dev/ttyUSB0 com9


as listed below?

I also think you need to do this command *after* changing to the
*dosdevices* directory, to place the link in the right place.

cd ~/.wine/dosdevices
