I've heard taht the parallel port can be reconfigured as a serial.Is this something controlled from within NT or is it a configurable BIOS resource?
 
This could be theoretically possible with external hardware or a specifically rewritten comm driver but I have never seen one. If you need more serial ports buy an additional serial card. I have never seen an NT solution so convert a parallel to serial within NT.
