Yes, I've read about how to change the port number, and for the Toshiba Bluetooth stack on my Dell D610, it's not an option. Yes, I've read the FAQ and the 16 port limit. So now the question is, where do we poke around in the source to increase the limit of serial ports under Cygwin? Or should I use another program like com2tcp to map the serial ports to TCP ports?
