| Sorry - I thought I had sent my last reply to the list as 
well.   Thanks 
for the advice, that is exactly what I did, and it worked, in that I could see 
and access to serial ports in the Win2k3 domU.  Unfortunately, I think 
I am going to have to scrap this configuration.  I am running Hylafax in 
the dom0 and serial port performance under the xen kernel is not 
acceptable.  I can't even reliable receive one fax at a time let alone have 
all 8 ports on the 8 port fax modem active at once.  When I boot into the 
native kernel, I have no issues at all.  I would have expected this 
had I been running hylafax in a domU, but not the dom0.   Have 
you seen performance issues in regards to serial ports?   David 
  
  You could let 
  the config file create com1 and let the wrapper script only add 
  com2.

 Since, I have upgraded to xen 
    3.3.1 from the the gitco repo.  I am
 still having issues.  It 
    seems that by default qemu-dm will provide
 more emulated hardware, like a 
    serial and parallel port, unless you
 tell it not to (serial none). 
     When I have attempted to configure the
 .sxp file with more than one 
    serial port, the vm won't start.  If I
 use the wrapper script, then 
    I get a 'com1' and 'com2' in the device
 manager, but com1 doesn't work 
    and in fact hyperterminal sees two
 'com1' ports.  I am sure this is 
    a confusion between the default
 serial port provided to the vm and the 
    serial ports I am trying to
 give to it via the wrapper script.
 
 So, 
    I succeeded in starting a hvm where windows sees two serial ports,
 but 
    one of them doesn't work.

     There doesn't appear to be anything more in the logs.
