Summary: ptys do not seem to work in wine
           Product: Wine
           Version: 20030911
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

[the version I currently run is wine-20031016, which is not an option in bugzilla]

A windows application tries to use the serial interface to communicate with a
target device. The target device is not directly connected to the linux computer
where the application is running (under Wine). That's why I want to redirect the
serial interface over the network. For that I need the application to use the
ptys as serial interface.

The problem is that, even though I enter the right configuration parameters:

[serialports]
"Com1" = "/dev/ttyp0"

when I run the application, it does not use the pty. I do not even know if Wine
has recognized the tty as a valid COM1. When I run winecheck, nothing is
reported about the serial interfaces.
