There is only one "modem" serial port. The other is called the "printer" 
port. Technically both ports can accept any serial device, but in this 
case I assume the serial device is on the modem port.

On Windows you get a bunch of serial ports, labeled "COM1" to "COM9".

LiveCode doesn't recognize USB ports at all, so it isn't an issue; you 
can't specify a USB port. The device in question is registering itself 
as a serial device on, I assume, the modem port. Generally when you 
select a modem in the OS you can also specify whether it is coming in on 
the modem or printer port; if Thomas selects printer port instead, then 
that's the port he should try to open.
