Windows
Of course. If you want setserial settings to persist across a boot, put
the setserial command(s) in the startup .rc files, typically
/etc/rc.d/rc.local. :-)

If RedHat didn't see fit to give you a ttyS4 (Com5), you can make one
with
mknod /dev/ttyS4 c 4 68
Or you can use some other ttyS if you have one you're not using.
I'm not much on plug 'n pray, but if you know the settings for IO port
and IRQ you can use setserial to force them on any spare ttyS* device.

It just writes it to stdout in a form suitable to go into isapnp.conf.
_You_, the system administrator, put it there.
pnpdump >/etc/isapnp.conf

Somewhere in this mess there should be a line startine with
#(CONFIGURE
That is the first line that needs uncommenting.
Then pick _one_ of the blocks between #Start dependent functions
and the next #Start dependent functions, or #End dependent functions,
and uncomment the #(IO and #(INT lines.
Finally, uncomment the #(ACT Y) and #)) at the end. With any luck, you
will have as many (( as )) and it will work :-). Then you'll probably
have to use setserial to set the port address and IRQ you have selected
into a ttyS* device.
Mind, I've never had to do this, but that seems to me to be what it
wants.
