I have a PC running openSUSE 12.2 x86_64. This PC has a serial port which is connected to an UPS.
All is OK. I have inserted an USB to serial converter for a Windows program (Freeze Framer) running
with crossover. When I launch this program, it functions correctly but the connexion between the PC
serial port and the UPS is broken.
I have made the following tests:

[/b]I have created a symbolic link with my program in crossover:
ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.cxoffice/Freeze \Framer/dosdevices/com3
I have inserted me in the dialout group.
When I launch Freeze Framer, it runs but the connexion between the PC serial port and the UPS is broken.
Where is the conflict?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
