Jim,

Could you please expand on this a little please?

Am running Mint17 on a 32 bit Dell laptop and trying to get MMEdit running under wine. Not having any luck getting COM anything going so would like to try ser2net as you suggest but am wallowing a bit on getting it going.

Appreciate any assistance,
Regards,
Doug.

First thing is to test MMEdit
Connect to the test server.
This will check that you can connect using TCPIP.
It is also using ser2net (on a Pi) so that will help the confidence levels.

On your linux box.
Install ser2net
I did my Ubuntu system from the command line.
sudo apt-get install ser2net

That should give you a configuration file /etc/ser2net.conf which needs to be edited using your preferred editor.

Use sudo so that you can save any changes

From the command line
sudo nano /etc/ser2net.conf

scroll down to the lines with 2000:telnet:600:/dev/ttyS0:9600 etc...
comment out the ones you don't want and edit one to read something like this:

  Quote  BANNER:banner1:\r\nWelcome to TassyJim's micromite test device\r\nYour IP is logged for security reasons\r\n\r\n

BANNER:banner2:\r\nCoffee monster\r\n\r\n

#2000:telnet:600:/dev/ttyS0:9600 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT banner
#2001:telnet:600:/dev/ttyS1:9600 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT banner
3002:raw:600:/dev/ttyUSB0:38400 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT banner1
3001:raw:600:/dev/ttyUSB1:38400 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT banner2


This is from the test server.

save the file

test it by running
/usr/local/sbin/ser2net -c /etc/ser2net.conf -n


connect MMEdit to localhost or 127.0.0.1 and you chosen port number
