Com port 1 is a tty used for a ps/2 mouse or to hook an external modem to your computer it is an actual rs-232 connection attached to the motherboard, it not a port normal used for the web other then with a modem.

There is *no such thing* as com1. Thats a *windows* name for the first serial port. It has no meaning in Linux.

Is that a windows program you're running under wine? If yes, then you need to make a symlink from your wine devices directory to the serial port you want to associate with the name "com1". Your user also has to be a member of the "uucp" group in order to get permission to use the serial port.

Thank you A.Serbinski

I made a link to ttys0 by the command
$ ln -sf /dev/ttys0 com1

and I put it to the directory
/home/tamer_net/.wine/dosdevices

pls. see the attachment

and I start the program and the com1 not working

do I dun it OK or no ?

what is wrong ?

the program must communicate with the receiver through that port I mean that the data must go and come to computer through that port

thank you again
