    Is there some kind of utility program which will tell me how all my laptop's COM ports are assigned?

    I want to install some USB to serial convertors on my Win2K laptop, but I can not since all the COM ports that my software can see are in use. Obviously the single serial port on the back is COM1. The device manager tells me that COM4 belongs to the infrared port and COM5 is the modem. If I go into PORT SETTINGS for COM1, it shows me that COM2 is free but everything else up to COM10 is in use.

    Thanks!
