the conventional pci is much different from the new pci-e standards. Com ports are no longer used and you don't have to adjust irq's like in the old days.

anyway i think Dialup modem uses Com Ports every PCI card uses a com Port on the Main System :/

Yes, most modems can emulate a COM port.

I have several PCI cards in my machine, and no COM ports listed in my device manager.

I was very happy to see them go. IRQ conflicts could be a major headache. That was why USB caught on so quickly. The USB controller takes care of sorting out your peripherals. Just plug it in, no bother. :)

I do still own a USB to serial adapter, (Which sets up a Virtual COM port) but I haven't used it in over 5 years.

I own a USB to RS232 serial adapter, purely for debricking a router, other than that about 3 years ago I used to do a bit of PAT testing and the gear needed a Serial port on a laptop to connect to

Before that, probably a joystick on an Atari :D
