Telnet is an internet utility, it will use whatever TCP/IP stack is on
your machine to communicate. If that stack is configured to use your
com1 port, then the communication will go that way, but it will always
be TCP/IP regardless of the hardware it's traveling over.
I don't know what it is you're trying to accomplish, but I suspect you
need to try something other then telnet.
