There are some issues with the CE port and serial port access.
It is not fully implemented.  This looks like the channel was
not recognized as a serial port, but even if it was, looking in
the sources I see that BuildCommDCB does not appear to be
implemented, so this wouldn't work anyways.  Ah yes, in
tcl/win/tclWinChan.c, FILE_TYPE_SERIAL detection is explicitly
commented out for CE.

If someone has the code for serial port handling on CE, they
could look at plugging that support back in.
