COM ports are referred to as /dev/ttyS0 (for COM1), /dev/ttyS1 (for COM2), etc. Make sure that the permissions are set appropriately; you can get messed up if your port is not set to be writable for some functions.
Sometimes, the deprecated /dev/cua0 device works better than the /dev/ttyS0 device. I don't know why that would be, but that's the case on my particular computer. I suspect that for me it's an issue with my motherboard.
