[gentoo-user] Wine + USB to serial adapter

[Adam Carter]

Is /dev/ttyUSB0 as functional as a regular /etc/ttyS0? I have a USB to serial adapter that uses the pl2303 driver, and have

adam@absydos<mailto:adam@absydos> ~/.wine/dosdevices $ ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 adam users 12 May  9 04:08 com1 -> /dev/ttyUSB0

But it doesnt appear to work. Similarly mapping ttyUSB0 to com1 in vmware fails, but if i connect the usb adapter to a vmware windows guest and add the windows driver it works. So;
- should it work?
- will other USB to serial adapter with better linux drivers work?
- or will i have to try a PCCard serial adapter?
