Using serial ports ttyUSB0 with wine

Hi,
in my Zorin laptop I installed a windows software to connect, via RS232/485/422, to a particolar devices.
To make this I connected my USB-->RS432/485/422 converter on my laptop.

Now seaching on web I found that to allow to wine to see my ttyUSB0 ports I need to create a "link" under ~/.wine/dosdevices to ttyUSB0 using the command

Code:

ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1

but when I run the windows software it did not see any serial port available.

I run also the command

Code:

sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0

but nothing change.

Someone could help me to solve this problem ?

Hi,

how old is your PC?, most modern PC's don't have the old serial port connections any more!:
