You probably wouldn't do much harm by changing the port in Device Manager, but as I'm not there to help you, I don't want to push you that way... there's not much that uses the COM ports these days, and if it's a modem or something it should reconfigure it to another port if you take one away, but I can't promise. |
Success!
It turns out that the dial-up modem was on COM3. Yes, my laptop really is that old - I brought it out of retirement, specifically for TOAF.
Anyway, I've assigned COM5 to the modem and COM3 to the cable and it connects.
I just need to figure out how to use it now, without bricking the car.
