Non standard serial port locations do not seem to work.

Hi Petr, I'm building a rig bridge for
linux using python (like lp-bridge for windows). I have quite a bit of success and have run CQRLOG from a remote computer using a serial line to a second computer running the bridge program and talking to my K3.

I have used socat to build several virtual serial ports and have tested
them with my bridge using a terminal program and using hamlib through
rigctl

However, I can't seem to get CQRLOG to run. The problem may be related
to serial port selection. As my virtual serial ports are located
in /dev/pts/1 through 8, they do no show up in the drop down box
selector for serial port in CQRLOG. When I attempt to enter it directly
I get no response and I cannot see any traffic in my bridge monitoring window.

Now I know the bridge works with hamlib because I used rigctl. I know
the bridge is working with CQRLOG because I can do it remotely
through /dev/ttyS0 on the remote machine.

I have had success with Quisk and xlog using both remote and local virtual serial ports. Quisk uses its own rig interface and xlog using hamlib.

All I can think of is that CQRLOG won't allow any non probed serial
ports or non standard serial port paths. Is there a way around this?

Thanks,
