Nevermind the name difference. Look up the proper COM name in device manager, and use /dev/com7 (adjust the number as needed). Note that Cygwin 1.5 only maps 16 serial devices (this is a problem for me as the crappy Toshiba Bluetooth software assigns a gazillion of Bluetooth COM ports it never needs and I never configured...), in doubt just remove an unused one (preferably one with a low number) in device manager and unplug and re-plug your USB to serial converter, Windows should then assign the lowest untaken number automatically. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
