Run setserial -g /dev/ttyS* on your system and see which serial ports
are present (usually /dev/ttyS0 is the equivalent of COM1, IIRC).
As for the configuration, there is a proper ctor that takes all the
needed arguments:
	public SerialPort (string portName, int baudRate, Parity parity, int dataBits, StopBits stopBits)
