+Some modems have multiple com ports, however almost all modems
+have only one effective port for PPP connections.
+For example, the Huawei E220 has two com ports, but only the first
+port can be used to make connections, the second one is for management.
+The Option GlobeTrotter HSDPA modem has three com ports, but
+only the last port can be used to make PPP connections.
