Hi Jim,<br><br>The PC has three physical serial ports, and for some reason Linux has named them /dev/ttyS0, S4, and S5. S0 goes to my radio's CAT system, S4 to the Az/El rotor, and S5 to the TNC. So, if I was running DOS or Windows, it would be COM2 (being the second serial port), so that's what I picked. But it's just a symbolic link in the dosdevices directory under ~/.wine (or in this case, the Crossover equivalent), so in theory I could pick any COM device I wanted. Or, do I have this symbolic link thing all wrong, and need to configure it somewhere else?<br><br>I did try all 4 COM devices within the program, and all gave an error. At least, using COM2 took a few seconds to give the error, suggesting that it did access the port, but somehow they failed to communicate.<br><br>Hmmm, now that I think of it, I wonder if it's freaking out not seeing the DSD/CTS/etc control signals?<br><br>Greg KO6TH<br><br><br>> Date: Fri, 29 May 2009 13:40:36 -0500<br>> From: jjolin@itol.com<br>> To: aprssig@tapr.org<br>> Subject: Re: [aprssig] Kenwood D7 software on Linux?<br>> <br>> Greg D. wrote:<br>> > Hi folks,<br>> ><br>> > Has anyone succeeded in running the Kenwood radio software (MD7G110) <br>> > under Linux under Wine (Crossover Office)?
