Windows Krepelsoftware seems to be running under wine without problems (only rumors, not working for me…)

1. Create the folder ~/.wine/dosdevices/
2. Find out which tty your usb/serial adapter shows up as (let's assume it's /dev/ttyUSB0)
3. Create symlink named com1 in dosdevices (ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1)
4. Make sure your user has read/write access to the actual tty device

1. Download Drivers
2. Install PL2303 Driver
3. Install Krepelsoftware
4. Have phun!
