Re: Number of COM PORTS installed and which are in use ?
Control Panel, ( Classic View ) System, Hardware (Tab), Device
Manager (Button). Expand the Ports category.
If it's a recent ( <2Yrs) PC it likely only has a single physical Serial
or COM port. There is a difference between physical Serial ports
and multiplexed ones.
