So how about we only do this on 64bit as an added bonus for folks who
"get it"? One particular machine I've recently worked on presented me
with COM144 to connect to, but I consider this to be an anomaly. But
COM port numbers in the 70…80 range are pretty common on some of the
more heavily used development machines.
