[Elecraft] linux/wine for K144XV/K3 Utility

[Thomas Horsten]

Hi Mike

You have to call the link "com1" or something similar for it to work.

So e.g.:

$ ln -s /dev/ttyS0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1

Also you need to be a member of the group that has access to the ttyS*
devices, in Ubuntu it's dialout, if you're not do:

$ sudo adduser YOURNAME dialout
(obviously, replace YOURNAME with your username). Then log out and log back
in for the change to take effect.
