My notebook PC has 2 USB ports, and there doesn't seem to be an easy
way to specifiy which COMPORT the USB dongle maps into. Maybe someone
else knows how to do this. The dongle may map into a COMPORT value
above what the oopic IDE can handle. When I use control panel, there
are so many USB ports shown, I am also unsure what is going on.

In the end, the easiest way I found to determine the actual COMPORT
value is to use a 3rd party program. I am using the XCTU program
which is intended to work with Maxstream modems. :) It always seems
to find the correct comport automatically. Available on
maxstream.net, and I have a copy here.

I don't know what other people do.
