Chris,

Firstly, did you build/install WINE from CVS? The CVS version has  
some fixes (not so far available in normal release versions)  
specifically related to the serial IO involved in connecting to the  
hardware.

Part of creating a new site is setting the RS232 connection  
parameters - speed, flow control, which port. These need to be set  
(and matched to the hardware) before you can connect to the hardware.
