Please don't forget that most PC's have more than one serial port. The
port needs to be chosen as well.
On another hand, I don't think that flexibility will be a highly demanded
issue for configurations with serial line support.
Serial consoles are normally used by experienced professionals either for
physically secured servers or for embedded devices. Flexibility is not
something that people will ask for, especially in the former case.
