i have never heard of somebody doing this on windows 7. Almost everyone here uses Linux or MacOS. And the only prominent Windows user involved in the project is working with Windows XP.

At least on my Cygwin installation under Windows XP the serial port is accessible as "/dev/ttySx" (x is "0" for COM1, "1" for COM2 and so on). All the USB to serial converters I am aware of are virtual COM ports on Windows which means that they are accessible the same way, e.g. if the virtual COM port is "COM7" it can be be accessed as "/dev/ttyS6",
