Is anyone using Wine successfully on linux to update his K3 or K144XV?

Unfortunately, it seems there is only a Windows version of K144XV Utility, but I
can't get it to work in Wine.  Even after creating a com1 symbolic link to
/dev/ttyS0 in ~/.wine/dosdevices, K144XV Utility shows no serial ports.  I tried
the K3 Utility in Wine (rather than the linux version I normally use) and got
the same lack of serial ports.  Clicking "Refresh port list" didn't change things.

Any help is very welcome!

Mike I use Crossover ( A commercial advanced version of wine with bottle format) with good success re K3 Utlity on fedora 14.

Good setup info here for an icom rxr software but same symlink principles;

Also Virtualbox

running xp or win7 os works very well too under any supported Linux host.
