Hi Toby,
No, I mean Com Ports, or otherwise called, serial ports.
Although there may only be 1 or two on the outside, computers also have
internal com ports.
My P4 1.7 system with no ISA slots (unfortunately), has com1 & com2
external, and com3 and com4 internal, or TTY 0 through 3.
I haven't noticed if Linux identifies the 2 internal serial ports or not,
yet.
Glenn.

Um, are you thinjking of usb ports?
Com ports are going out of fashion now, machines are being pushed out with
none at all, arg!!!
Even in the old days usually computers had 2 com ports, you had to install
another controller to get the extra ones.
