Hello,
I have tried several terminal programs (Hyperterm and TeraTerm) under several builds of Wine including Wine-20040505 and they seem to have the same generic problem.
They all exhibit the same situation, DATA seems to go OUT, but never seems to come IN. Several other people have experienced the same thing, as seen in this bug report: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2115
By the way, TeraTerm does work fine in TCP/IP mode, so it's definitely a serial problem. It's freeware available here: http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html
It appears to be a fundamental problem in the serial/file code, which I understand is now under the ntdll tree. Obviously, I don't know much about it, but there is definitely something wrong.
I was wondering if any developers were aware of this problem, as the decreased general usage of serial communications may have caused this to slip under the carpet, so to speak.
I look forward to hearing any ideas, work-arounds, or patches.
Thanks
