General serial communications issues

[David Purucker]

Hello,

I have tried several terminal programs (Hyperterm and TeraTerm) under 
several builds of
Wine including Wine-20040505 and they seem to have the same generic problem.

They all exhibit the same situation, DATA seems to go OUT, but never seems 
to come IN.
Several other people have experienced the same thing, as seen in this bug 
report:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2115

By the way, TeraTerm does work fine in TCP/IP mode, so it's definitely a 
serial problem.
It's freeware available here:  
http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html

It appears to be a fundamental problem in the serial/file code, which I 
understand is now
under the ntdll tree.  Obviously, I don't know much about it, but there is 
definitely
something wrong.

I was wondering if any developers were aware of this problem, as the 
decreased general
usage of serial communications may have caused this to slip under the 
carpet, so to speak.

I look forward to hearing any ideas, work-arounds, or patches.

Thanks
