RE: Serenum.vxd support for non Standard Serial Ports ( USB to Serial )

> It is my understanding that this VXD is responsible for the

enumeration of devices connected to a serial port and will
detect things like PnP modems I have however noticed that
enumeration does not seem to be happening for my serial ports.

When I click the Refresh’ button in the device manager,
It is enumerating the devices (Modem) which are connected
to the standard serial port and it doesn’t enumerating the
devices (Modem) which are connected to the Usb Serial port.

It’s been a few years since I looked into this for the very same reason that
you are concerned about. If I remember correctly, the problem is that the
Win9x serenum VxD doesn’t use the serial port API to do its work, but
instead wants to directly access the UART. I also recall not finding the
serenum source in the Win9x DDK.
