I'm in process of installing XP under VirtualBox on Fedora 14 Linux, after which I'll install MapSource, TopoUS2008, and others under XP, hoping to be able to get my Etrexes and Rinos to talk to the software. I do have a physical serial port on the machine; but I don't see what path to set Com1 and Com2 to. Anyone know?

The Linux serial PC built-in style ports are /dev/ttyS0/1/2/3/... etc
The kernel tries to make sure ttyS0..S3 match up with the expected "COM1..COM4" as DOS would describe them.
