I/O changed alot starting with 5.0 as we went from a polling-based to an 
event-based paragirm. I hope we didn't mess up serial I/O on Windows.

Just the path to the log file. On Windows, maybe it needs to look something 
like:

   log-file C:\temp\brltty.log

No problem. It's always better to ask. Beware, though, that I'm not a Windows 
person. :-)

Thanks. I can see the problem. You have multiple entries for things. For 
example, you have a braille-device line that specifies serial:COM1, but you 
also have one that specifies USB:. Since the USB: one is first, it's the one 
that's being used. Please ensure that your brltty.conf only specifies each 
option once. My guess is that it'll then work, and that you won't need to 
bother with caturing a log.
