Access Grid Wine for Ubuntu hardy

Overview

The Access Grid Wine (agwine) package available here was built on and for the current Ubuntu 8.04 distribution, hardy. This agwine package is exactly the same as an ordinary wine package for the hardy environment, except that an additional patch has been applied which enables correct serial port communication when using the GWare application. GWare is the configuration software for the ClearOne (Gentner) XAP400 hardware echo canceller.
