These features were new in beta 0.59 (released 2007-01-24):
- PuTTY can now connect to local serial ports as well as making network connections.
我真是有点落伍了，到今天才知道，putty的最新版本已经到了0.60。支持串口之后就可以拿putty来替代windows的超级终端了。
串口设置方法
connection type里选择Serial，串口号和连接速度可以直接输入，比如COM1，115200，更详细的设置在Connection->Serial里面。
报文监视
如果想用putty来监视串口输出，只需要在Session->Logging里选中All session output或者Printable output，然后指定文件名，其中可以包含时间日期等通配符，非常实用。

在《VMware usb》中有
Also, /proc/bus/usb is there and it is mounted with usbfs
It's like VMware Server has the "USB Controller" enabled in the config but isn't actually making it available.
参考用来添加串口。vm->setting->add
选好物理串口。
