Hey,

Let's keep this on the list since this might be of general interest.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the port numbering has changed on  
Windows.  I think it didn't make sense to have COM1 = 0, COM2 = 1,  
COM3 = 2, etc.  So its been remapped for Windows: 0 = COM0(doesn't  
exist), 1 = COM1, 2 = COM2, etc.  I suppose 0 = COM1 just for  
backwards compatibility.

Try using [open 1(.
