 Marten is absolutely right.  One of the most irritating things about pc/sc
 is the way it hijacks the serial port.  

Is this PC/SC or the drivers though ?  The Towitoko PC/SC driver for Win32
claims to release the serial port  only claim it 'on demand'.

pc/sc requires card insertion events be delivered.  So the drivers must keep
the port open.  Towitoko is technically in violation of the spec, which is
one reason I like them.
