Thanks, Austin. Following the above, I discovered how to turn on
WINDEBUG; I probably went a bit overboard with
'WINEDEBUG="+comm,+file,+serial", but I did spot the following coming
out of the firehose:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
trace:file:RtlDosPathNameToNtPathName_U (L"C:\\windows\\serialui.dll",0x32eed8,(nil),(nil))
trace:file:RtlGetFullPathName_U (L"C:\\windows\\serialui.dll" 520 0x32ec5c (nil))
warn:file:wine_nt_to_unix_file_name L"serialui.dll" not found in /home/ben/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows
------------------------------------------------------------------------

That certainly seems like it would torpedo any attempt to communicate
via a serial port. Any suggestions of where I can download such a
critter?
