How then would the Mac OS know which modem port you were opening?
There is only one "modem" serial port. The other is called the "printer" port. Technically both ports can accept any serial device, but in this case I assume the serial device is on the modem port.
On Windows you get a bunch of serial ports, labeled "COM1" to "COM9".
How would it know you were talking about the USB port? There are older Macbooks and Desktops that actually have a modem as well as USB ports. I read the dictionary, but didn't see anything on how to actually specify the USB port. Just curious.
LiveCode doesn't recognize USB ports at all, so it isn't an issue; you can't specify a USB port. The device in question is registering itself as a serial device on, I assume, the modem port. Generally when you select a modem in the OS you can also specify whether it is coming in on the modem or printer port; if Thomas selects printer port instead, then that's the port he should try to open.
