More than 4 serial ports with wine.

[phrostie]

i have not played with the port setups in Wine, but have you tried doing what 
the error message says?  "Try --winver nt40 "

i was working for an Instrument company years ago that was inputing and 
outputting to windows touch screens.  one of the problems was the number of 
ports avaliable.  if we exceeded a certain number then we were required 
to switch the box from win9x to NT.  NT can handle more ports, but cost more.

Tell wine that the winver is NT40 and see if it gets farther.
