That doesn't make much sense to me.  I can't see why a comm port should
be lseekable, if that is what you mean.  I don't much trust Microsoft
doco either.  The app doesn't seem to be doing set_file_pointer on the
modem either.

I don't know about that yet, but it seems to me that GetCommState is
incorrectly creating lpdcb with fParity - if that is indeed what it is
and the structure and names are correct, and then the dumb app is just
using it.  Could you try it this helps?
