I recently connected a device to the com1 port on the motherboard and it didn't register as installed.

The test I have used previously was to give a dial command using Hyper Terminal from the Windows OS. Hyper Terminal also would not perform a dial out.

Is there a way to confirm that the com1 port or physical hardware is dead?
