It depends on how the protocol is implemented: if the code implementing
it runs in user space, e.g. its compiled into the EXE or is part of a
library module (DLL), then it should work with Wine, but if its been
implemented as a device driver then you're out of luck because you can't
install Windows drivers in Linux or OS X.
