           Summary: WINE doesn't recognize pseudo tty's
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.26
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: blackshell at gmail.com


I'm using a software called 'remserial' ( http://lpccomp.bc.ca/remserial/ ) to
remotely access a fiscal printer. The program creaters a pseudo-tty in the
'client' redirecting to the printer in 'server'. I can connect to the printer
with any other application, except WINE. 

I read that WINE uses 'setserial' to grab serial port information, perhaps this
is the source of my problems as 'setserial' doesn't work with pseudo tty's. 

Here's the output when i try to run setserial on the pty port:

bash-3.1# setserial /dev/pts/2
Cannot get serial info: Invalid argument

When I try to access the port with WINE, I keep getting EscapeCommFunction()==
FALSE errors.

I also tryed to edit kernel32/comm.c and comment out the lines in the
EscapeCommFunction section that tries to obtain serial information. Now the
error doesn't happen but the application doesn't work neither. 

Hope it helps.
