Wine and the serial port

[Gerson Kurz]

I have an application that talks to hardware via the serial port. 
(Actually, it talks to a lot of hardware, banking peripherals). The app 
runs on both Win32 and OS/2. 

Of course, the main theme is porting the thing natively to linux (and I'm 
working on that). But just for fun I tried to get it to work with WINE, and 
while the "device emulation" works perfectly (much to my surprise, really 
good work guys!) the serial communication doesn't go far. The hardware 
receives the data, but the signals (RTS/CTS etc.) are NOT correctly handled 
by WINE. 

Is this an area that is being worked on?
