so if I understand you properly, you say that there is no way doing from _outside_ of wine (no matter what kind of com object I have), is that correct?
Of course there is a way: you could make your own remote procedure call mechanism. Might be a very cool project, actually, to make an interface to call objects living a wine, that makes COM accessible from unix!
However, it will be quite some work. You probably need a server kind of application that lives in Wine, and a client application that lives in Linux. Then, you got to make sure that the linux app can connect with the server, and issue procedure calls to the wine server. Finally, the wine server should forward actual calls into COM, and return the result value back to the linux client.
I still think it would be better to use the Samba RPC client libraries to interact with Wine's RPC implementation (rpcrt4). You wouldn't need to implement a custom server to achieve that, it would just work, and be more efficient.
