Yes there is n2wz. USB serial ports can be made work in current wine.

Other devices is more like time. Support for Like ipods is being worked on.

Good to hear that. What I was asking about is an USB-COM -like converter on FT2232 chip:

n2@n2-laptop:~$ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0403:6010 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT2232C Dual USB-UART/FIFO IC

You have to have a Linux driver for it. Then Wine can work with it as a normal serial port. Wine will not support real hardware drivers any time soon if ever.

Native Linux applications work pretty well with it in Ubuntu, so all necessary drivers already installed.
Wonder how one should know what COM port is defined for it in WINE?

see here: http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Wine_Registry
look down for Ports section
you might want to specify /dev/ttyUSBx in the registry if wine does not recognise the serial devices

By the way, how should I specify ttyUSB in the registry?

You don't. You just symlink it into .wine/dosdevices, e.g.

ln -s /dev/ttyUSB ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1

The registry isn't involved at all.
