David,
LP-Pan is just a piece of hardware, and has no connection with COM ports.
However, the software application that shows you the panadapter display
on the computer will usually use a COM port to indicate the frequency on
the display and may have some other rig control functions.
Note that a com port is not *required* for the panadapter display
portion, only a soundcard is needed for that - however, that panadapter
display becomes more useful if the frequency is collected from the rig
via the COM port.
One application at a time is able to use a physical COM port, but there
are software applications that provide virtual port replication - like
LP-Bridge.
LP-bridge connects to the COM port used by the transceiver and other
applications that also need to 'talk' to the transceiver connect to the
virtual ports of LP-Bridge.
An alternative to LP-Bridge is Win4K3suite which does the same port
"expansion" function in a slightly different manner. Also Google for
"virtual COM port" for other alternatives.
You will find more information on LP-Pan and LP-Bridge on the
www.telepostinc.com website and on the LP-Pan Yahoo group.

I have an additional question in addition to Jorge. I recently installed my
LPAN2 (I do not have a P3).
My question is that can I run my LPAN2 at the same time I run N1MM+. I
tried and got a port conflict the with K3. Also, I run SO2R with 2 K3s and
never made it that far to check additional port conflicts as I didn't make
it past the first port conflict.
