No, anyone can ask any cygwin-related question. That doesn't mean
that someone will know the answer. Note also that none of us
are getting paid to answer questions here - if you want a *guaranteed*
minimum response time, you'll have to buy a support contract.

Have you tried open("/dev/com1", O_RDWR) ? The usual POSIX tc*() functions
should work. Note that the cygwin documentation is still very young,
and any help anyone wants to contribute to add to it would be appreciated by
all.
