[PD] comport issue (solved)

[renaud.herne at belgacom.be]

Thank you Martin,

It works.
What is funny (stupid) is that I compiled the new version  last week and
sent it to Charles Henry [czhenry at gmail.com]
In addition, because I want to control a serial mouse I must first power
it by enabling RTS and also enable the RTS/CTS handshaking in order to
make it work.

If so you have an old version of comport. The latest version will
probably work better.
