Hi Holly, there's no UI to do this yet, as you found out.
By default, you don't need to do any config, at least on Linux. COM1 defaults to /dev/ttyS0, COM2 to /dev/ttyS1, and so on. LPT1 defaults to /dev/lp0.. you get the idea.
If you want to change it, you can create a link in .wine/dosdevices from, say, com1 to the device you want it to use. So if for example you wanted com1 to be /dev/cua0, you should have this in dosdevices: lrwxrwxrwx 1 juan juan 9 Oct 4 08:15 com1 -> /dev/cua0
Hope that helps, --Juan

Also it would be nice to include any info as to the status of using the parallel port to interface into devices like: dongles with are a software unlock key. eprom programmers which require a special driver on NT to access the hardware.
I think the current status is that it will not work or I have not found the correct solution.
Several years ago I had my programmer and one other device working with dosemu and or bochs but after I updated from Mandrake 8.2 I think I have not been able to get it working again. I think the kernel has changed on hardware access and will require special driver to allow simulated direct hardware access.
