Thanks, Andre - I've just tried this out in both of the above, and I'm
not seeing any data (although firing up 'gpsd' shows that it is indeed
there.) What can I do to get it to show up?

Again, to recap: I have a Garmin GPS that's connected to /dev/ttyUSB9
via the 'garmin_gps' module. I can see it fine in Linux; I can't see it
with anything in Wine. I've created a symlink (~/.wine/dosdevices/com2
-> /dev/ttyUSB9) and added

"Serial0"="COM1"
"Serial1"="COM2"
"Serial2"="COM3"
"Serial3"="COM4"
"Serial4"="COM5"
"Serial5"="COM6"
"Serial6"="COM7"
"Serial7"="COM8"
"Serial8"="COM9"

to the registry (this was needed to make the ports show up at all in any
of the software under Wine; without it, the only "port" was TCP/IP via
Winsock.)

What else can I do to make the data visible to software running under Wine?


Thanks in advance,
