The virtual comports appear to actually have been left out of the latest
release somehow, or it's just not in the patchset I happened to download,
which was the latest. However, please read src/doc/README/vmodem
as it gives an overview of what happens. In short, you use
$_comX = "virtual". I'd hope that someone would document however, how to
setup more then only 4 comports (perhaps a #define?), as I run software
which can support more then 50 different nodes online at the same time and
allow them to use dosemu to play door games, some of which are multinode.
If you downloaded the patchset like me, and the code doesn't appear to be
there, the vmodem patch does the same thing: ftp://bbs.ipass.net/pub/dosemu/
