Can't do that for the current project (customer's preferences...), but 
for the future it's good to know that the serial port works better 
under Linux if that's what you're implying (as OS X won't be an option 
here). How high could you set the baudrate actually? Maybe even more 
than 115200? And what's the alternative object if you are/were not 
using comport?

Thanks much,
