How can I use inner serial port?

My D5 program uses serial ports to communicate mobile devices. One of our
client has a new (Acer) notebook (with Win XP). It has only
one inner serial port with an inner modem. The program finds the port in the
registry, but when it wants to open it (with CreateFile), gets
an error (errorcode: 2). It is interesting that the HyperTerminal program
can open and use the port. Listing the hardware devices (in MyComputer), the
port can not be seen, only the modem. How can I use the port?

Thank you in advanced
