It's much simpler than that. To use your extra ports, programs call OpenDevice
with the name of YOUR driver (different from serial.device). The meaning of the
unit number is defined by your driver. Most programs these days let the user
specify the driver name and unit number to play with. If not, it's fairly easy
to write a program to patch OpenDevice and pop up a window.
