Just to clarify, packet tracer is a cisco program that cimulates being 
connected to a router. This would aleviate the need of being connected 
via the consel port. There doesn't seem to be anything like that for 
linux, and wine doesn't seem to be accessible. Any tips on using wine in 
case I need to use a windows program like packet tracer?
