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

[Luc Favre]

Hi Bob and all,

I solved my problem, but it was a long way (I must say, I'm a Linux 
beginner).
The device ttyUSB0 grants permissions "native" only to root and the 
group dialout (type in : "ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0").
One solution ist to join the dialout groups.
Type in : "sudo adduser <username> dialout".
Caution : this modification needs a rebout to be effective. The command 
"groups" will then shows you belongs to the diualout group..

Thanks to all and first to Bob !
