Since when? Sounds like a load of codswallop to me.
Although it is unusual to use it on COM5. Usually because in the old days of Procomm, Terminal and suchlike they'd use COM 3/4 and if I recall you had to manually add in extra COM ports if you were using them. 3 or 4 is definately easier, but will invalidate one of the serial ports on the back of the machine, if you use those.
Aliensub's statement *used* to be true for WinModems (Which use your processor to do Digital-Audio Conversions instead of in hardware), but even that's not the case anymore - there are plenty of drivers for WinModems out for linux now..
Bleh.
Slick.
