I have a device on COM14, that I have to read data from. I'm using  
Windows' CreateFile function to open the serial port. I can open ports 1-9  
no problem, but when I try to open COM14, Windows tells me that the file  
does not exist. However, I can open up COM14 in HyperTerminal, and it  
seems to work fine. I did notice that MSDN have a page on file naming,  
where it lists words from COM1 to COM9 as reserved, but there's no word  
about COM14. This tells me that COM14 is not supported, but other programs  
can still access it somehow..

Any ideas?
