This is not easy possible, as pd doesn't support all ASCII characters,
so you would have to write the parser outside of pd anyhow.
The good thing about the comport object is that you do not have to
rewrite OS dependent serial port communication, but you just have
to write a parser, that interprets the incoming ascii value.

For that matter, if you want to have strings, just write a small
external that translates the int stream into strings.
