I realize this. I tried connecting to different port "numbers", but I
have not tried the serial.Serial(COM1). I wasn't sure if that worked,
but I know a quick way to find out.

The com port used in Hyper Terminal is COM40. I have tried connecting
to 39/40/41 to no avail.

That might become an issue when I try to read COM40 for the GPS
bluetooth transmission. This issue does not relate to why I cannot
open smaller com ports, though.
