The bundled GPRS tracker config software installs and runs OK under Wine. But my attempts to sniff the serial port traffic fails using all the standard Linux methods I know.
Which were those, and what happens?
I also tried using the Windows program Serial Port Monitor under Wine http://www.eltima.com/products/serial-port-monitor/ . This program says it cannot detect any serial ports.
Without knowing much about the software in question, I think there's a good chance it works by hooking into the (Windows) kernel driver for the serial port, or doing something similar. Perhaps that could be made to work in Wine, but you'll likely have much more success with intercepting the traffic on the Linux side.
