I use vmware workstation 6.5 and it has no issues using the com or USB ports? Would have thought vbox (sun version) would have those features? For crossover office, it's just a symlink away in the dosdevices directory. com1 -> /dev/ttyS0 -- Cheers Malcolm ��� (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86_64) Kernel 2.6.27.42-0.1-default up 17 days 13:42, 4 users, load average: 0.75, 0.31, 0.16 GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - CUDA Driver Version: 190.53

I can't say about serial, I don't use it. > I've tested Xen, VirtualBox, and VMWare > (free edition). I'm so far running the free 1.0.10 VMWare Server. USB works when before starting the client I command in CLI: mount -t usbfs usbfs /proc/bus/usb/ I'm looking forward to try Xen because of "real virtualization" that I know nothing about yet. The term may be wrong, too...
