Daniel thanks for this pointer. 

I'm still having problems but I think now its my understanding of pseudo 
and real ports. I'm using a program called remserial which connects to a 
remote PC by TCP/IP and presents the connection to the ptyp9 port, 
according to my understanding if I connect my wine app to ttyp9 as its com 
port it should 'see' a normal com port and talk to it just as if its a real 
port if I have done the link you pointed me at. Well my app says the com 
port is open or unavailable!

If anyone has any ideas I'd be greatfull!
