Levi, thanks for the illumination, Eban, Levi gave me all of the data, I went
into the .wine directory (I am not sure how I did not see a thing when I was
googling wine and com ports but never saw a thing about dosdevices dir-
ectory. I see not only where the 'C' drive is, but also where my com ports
are. I also now see where my comms problem is, com1 is linked to ttyS0,
it needs to be linked to ttyUSB0. I guess I will have to go in and drop the
link and create a new one.
