Hallo,
yes I think this is a good solution. Has someone tried with more than one usb serial if the numbering can be extend ?
anyway please commit.

I figured out a scheme to make [comport] port numbers (i.e. [comport 1]) work on Mac OS X. I want to run it by you to see if you think it'll work in [comport], and ask whether I should send you a patch or just commit it to CVS.
Mac OS X labels serial port devices like /dev/tty.*, for example:
/dev/tty.modem (built-in modem on my laptop) /dev/tty.serial (serial port on an Xserve server) /dev/tty.usbserial-191 (my USBserial adapter)
So basically, it could number these devices based on alphabetical order of the /dev/tty.* devices. Like this:
[comport 1] = /dev/tty.modem [comport 2] = /dev/tty.serial [comport 3] = /dev/tty.usbserial-191
Or on my laptop:
[comport 1] = /dev/tty.modem [comport 2] = /dev/tty.usbserial-191
or on the XServe (with one built-in serial port):
[comport 1] = /dev/tty.serial
