Not every applications runs in Wine. For example I didn't get USB devices (not storage, connection to a special device) running in Wine. And I can imagine that old serial connections and so are even more tricky.

    Wine has support serial and parallel ports. They work fine. In recent versions of wine you don't even have to set anything up. Just run ls -l ~/.wine/dosdevices/com* after running something in wine to see what the com port number is for your device. The ttyACM and ttyUSB ports are USB serial ports. The ttyS ports are hardware serial ports and they will probably show up even if your computer doesn't have any.
