Ports, how they can be used, and what things should be configurable

Ports, how they can be used, and what things should be configurable I am creating a port manager, and I need to know what ports can even be used for. It is not supposed to handle data taken in from the port, it is for port management.

"It is only needed for the user to set these 5:

Port Name (e.g. COM1)
Baudrate (e.g. 9600)
Data Bits (e.g. 8)
Stop bits (e.g. 1)
Parity scheme (e.g. even)

The rest can be set to reasonable defaults."
