- I'm writing an application that uses serial ports and I want to be
- compliant with multi-port cards (ie. those with more than 2 ports, or
- intelligent cards with lots of ports not directly connected to the
- bus).
-
- For those of you who use multi-port cards, what device names are used
- to reference the ports? Are they all COMnn format? (Ie. what should I
- look for in the device list to load a combo box with?) Are the
- IOCtl's the same as those in the IBM-supplied COM port driver?
