Some serial port systems can automatically detect the bit rate.
Many personal computer motherboards still have at least one serial port, even if accessible only through a pin header.
This facility allows real serial port overlapping (mapping) and receiving data from a physical port through virtual port.
Reports could be piped to the display or a serial port for testing if one were so inclined.
At a lower level, a device driver implementing these functions would communicate to the particular serial port controller installed on a user's computer.
One easy to exploit vulnerability: unregistered services do not require authentication, and vulnerable applications have a virtual serial port used to control the phone.
That reason, as noted above, was to separate the details of serial port communications from the actual application.
This position is sent to the microprocessor by a serial port as a data line.
