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

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

I see now that you tried to create this link in dosdevices, so assuming
that using :dev instead of /dev was just an email typo, maybe there's one
more step.

Edit ~/.wine/win.ini and add these lines

[serialports]
Com9=/dev/ttyUSB0

See http://www.witch.westfalen.de/Wine-HOWTO.txt and search the for "serial
port'.  It also says you have to put the serial port and the userid in the
dialout group?

73,
