I've never actually tried to use ports where they suggested these numbers, but the system does initially assign port numbers higher than 255. I can look up in the Device Manager and find the new com port with an assigned number of COM562. As I approached 255, I too thought it would stop

Are there physical serial port connectors on your computer? Are you running any virtual serial port programs? What would you want to do with available serial ports? I'm not sure I am going to have any answers to your questions, but answers to these questions may help others answer. 73 - Mike

Hi Bob, No humour intended (!), here's some C++ code, it's really very simple, sadly some formatting will be lost in the mail below. This really is the most fool-proof way of listing COM ports which exist on a computer: for (UINT nPort = 1; nPort = 255; nPort++) { // // Form the Raw
