Hi Folks;

I need to populate a menu w/ 
available COM ports. I know how to 
do this with CreatFile(dwAccess=0).
Fine & Dandy, But if this port is 
attached to a modem, IR port, 
Bluetooth device then I want to 
skip it. I'm only interested in 
RS232, 9 pin D connector, COM 
ports. So my question is: If I get 
a valid handle back form CreateFile 
is there a good way to determine 
what is on the other end?

Thanks
Drew
