I tried this, and it does now show ComPort in the config options.
Unfortunately, it won't let me change it from 2!  That is, I can edit
the number, but when I go back in, its set to 2 again.  Any ideas?

I also tried the CM12 in the motherboard serial port, rather than on the
quad serial adaptor, and the lockups went away.  I guess there must be a
bug in the drivers for the serial adaptor, but there doesn't appear to
be any newer version :-(
