I did use a break-out box and discovered that with version VPC2004 SP1 (not
VPC2005 as originally posted), serial communications is only working from the
guest eCS to the outside world. Nothing can be received into the guest eCS. At
least on my system.

I upgraded to VPC2007 (upgraded over VPC2004 SP1) and sure enough, serial comm
started to work properly.

Now I can use serial communications on a PC without serial ports using a USB
to serial converters. Those RS-232 devices just won't go away...

any data does actually come out of the physical serial port...
