Hi All,

Sorry to add to the list of woes! I am trying to set up BSS Audio's Soundweb
designer on a new laptop (acer 5720z) without inbuilt serial port. On my old
laptop (thinkpad 570e) the program runs fine under wine 0.9.25 on Debian Etch
(current and up to date) using the inbuilt serial port with no more
configuration needed than selecting com1 in the soundweb ui. Wine was installed
in this case using apt-get.

On the new laptop - running Kubuntu 7.10 (also up to date and otherwise working
perfectly) and Wine 0.9.46 the program launches as normal - and unless i
symlink /dev/ttyUSB0 > dosdevices/com1 the program quits upon trying to connect
to serial.
When i have the symlink in place and have verified the following:

usb 1-1: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0,

the program will search for devices but return no results. I should probably
mention that the software has a serial connection to one of a network of
devices and usually finds all the devices.

Before finding this bug - I tried compiling the 0.9.25 version on the new
machine with the same results as I get with version 0.9.46

Attached is the result of WINEDEBUG='+comm' wine "C:\Program Files\BSS
Audio\Soundweb\SoundWeb.exe"

It would appear that Bug 7526 is also appearing in the output to my
terminal.(In reply to comment #3)
