so you must use a very special serial hardware which is located on io 
address higher than $3ff. Seems unlikely to me. In your former post, you 
tried to access io address 1000 (decimal) this is $3e8 (hexadecimal) and 
should be an ordinary COM3. May be you are mixing up decimal vs. 
hexadecimal notation.
