Hmm, I can only test up to COM16. Cygwin allows names up to /dev/ttyS63 and converts them up to \\.\com64. The conversion works, but the Windows function to open the device fails when I use ports > \\.\com16. Which makes sense, given that only COM1 - COM16 exist on the system. Sorry, but you're on your own here. Somebody who has more ports has to debug this. http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PTC Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
