Yes, the device is connected and switched on. Yes, the serial port
com1 occures in the system control panel. And no, the port isn't used
by any other program.

If I do (from cygwin) cat fil.txt>/dev/com1, I can hear some beeps
from the display, which means that the data is sent over the serial
port com1. What's the message /dev/com1: fd=3 means?
