--- Comment #5 from Paul Sladen  ---
How would you wish the OP to respond? ;-)

The ground debugging was done by Doug Brown, using another piece of other
unrelated piece of software that enumerates available [serial] ports, by first
requesting the "FriendlyName" for each available port.

All software that uses such mechanisms will fails when both a "FriendlyName"
and "PortName" have not been automatically provided by Wine.

Yes, it is probably a terrible method; but that's also the reality...
