Serial Ports

[Rickferd]

Good Day
I am running WINE 1.2 on ubuntu 10.04 using kernal 2.6.32-51Generic everything is updated. newer version of ubuntu will not run unless I build the kernal and I stink at building kernals.

I have 10 serial ports, 2 on the motherboard, ttyS0 and ttyS1 and 8 on an external card with ttyCTI0 to ttyCTI7. all are working in ubuntu.
I have symbollically linked ttyCTI0 to ttyS2 and so on till I get to ttyCTI7 to ttyS9
If i try and link straight from ttyCTI* to Com * it will not work.
If I do the above and then link just one and it doesn't matter which one Com1 thru Com9 it works fine. Except for Com10 will not work. When I do a "cat Com10" there is data there.

How do I get the com10 data in to the wine program and to the software??

I need to have all 10 port avaliable.

You might want to ask this on the user's mailing list. There was a user on the list (don't know if he still subscribes) who had quite a bit of experience using serial ports in Wine. All I can tell you is that your Wine version is over 3 years old and you should upgrade to at least 1.6.

Update
I have been able to install WINE 1.6 with no joy. com10 is still not working.

Thank you dimesio, I have ported in there also. hopefully between the I can get this rectified.
