[Tinyos-help] COM port in Cygwin

[Michael Schippling]

Widows XP has trouble with COM ports above 15 (I think that's the max),
so Vista probably does as well... I don't know how the FTDI driver
assigns numbers so I had to un&re-install it to get it to reset.
The number also seems to be dependent on the USB port and hub
so you could try different holes.

Also, if you are using the MIB520, native USB programmer, it has
two sequential numbers, one for programming and +1 (again, IIRC...)
for talking to the base-station serial.
