I have just tested one of the other applications affected by this bug,
HyperTerminal Private Edition 6.3, in a clean WINEPREFIX in Wine 1.3.32 and the
problem still exists.

I created a symbolic link for COM1, documented here:
http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/misc-things-to-configure
ln -s /dev/ttyS0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1

HyperTerminal does not list any COM ports, only a TCP/IP (Winsock) connection
is available.

I then created a registry entry for the serial port, as suggested in this bug
report:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4282
Add the following lines to .wine/system.reg [Hardware\\Devicemap\\SerialComm]
"Serial0"="COM1"

HyperTerminal now shows COM1 and TCP/IP (Winsock)as available connections.

What is the status of Andrew Hurst's patch, was it ever included in Wine?

HyperTerminal Private Edition 6.3 is available for download here:
