USB Device Support

[Mike Yates]

Hi
I (and a lot of contributors to the Nokia forums) would like to use the
Nokia PC Suite in Wine.
The current status in the AppDB of Nokia PC Suite
<http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1026>
v7.x.x.x is "Garbage" because, although installation and all the other
functions now (wine v1.2.2) work just fine, it is totally useless
without its "Connect a Phone" function.
I have written in AppDB:-

Using latest Ubuntu-10.10 wine the installation is all visible.
No connectivity, but there IS kernel support.
Still investigating - will report more later...

The kernel connects to my Nokia 6300 by USB as /dev/ttyACM0
I have used this with with wvdial (and other apps) to use the 6300 as an
Edge modem and also with kmobile-tools to sync contacts.
Surely there is a way of linking /dev/ttyACM0 into wine as a raw USB or
serial port?
Anyone know how?

Well?
