	OK, I did what the site said. Then I had to remove the extant 
com1, which had ignored a chown command, as root.

	Now I have this : 
[btth at localhost ~]$ cd ~/.wine/dosdevices
[btth at localhost dosdevices]$ ln -s /dev/ttyS0 com1
ln: creating symbolic link `com1': File exists
[btth at localhost dosdevices]$ rm com1
[btth at localhost dosdevices]$ ls
c:  d::  e::  z:
[btth at localhost dosdevices]$ ln -s /dev/ttyS0 com1
[btth at localhost dosdevices]$ ls
c:  com1  d::  e::  z:
[btth at localhost dosdevices]$ 

	-- and still can't connect to the GPS (which I do have set to the 
Garmin interface, yes; and I've tried both with preference set to com1 
and set to auto).
