Palm Hotsync and usbserial: New Findings

Hello all,
I have been working on getting Hotsync to sync to a USB cradle using
usbserial. I did some research, and as it turns out, the functions that
wine uses to poll normal serial ports (like ioctl and tcgetattr) don't
like usbserial devices very much. In fact, when I query my USB cradle
using setserial, it gives me the same "Invalid Arguement" error that
GetCommState does. Additionally, pilot-link doesn't even use these
functions to communicate with a usbserial connected palm. The question
now is, can we get tcgetattr to play nice with usbserial?

Best Regards,
James Liggett
