I have done this to allow me to use a cisco router via my Windows Virtualbox install.
I had to add my linux (host) user to the dialout group to use the COM port. A little how to on my website http://phunkymunkys.com/index.php/21...-to-virtualbox, Hope this helps or points you in the right direction.
