   The names of com1 and com2 ports can vary by OpenVMS release and
   by configuration, unfortunately.

   If >>> set console graphics, then OPA0: lurks on the workstation
   display.  COM1 is either OPA1: or (more recently) TTB0:, depending
   on the OpenVMS release. COM2 is TTA0:.

   If >>> set console serial, then com1 is OPA0: and com2 is TTA0:.

   (When confronted with this situation, I've usually just plugged a
   serial terminal into the port, logged in, and looked via a command
   such as SHOW TERMINAL.  If I could not log in due to port settings,
   I'd try a REPLY directly to the port, or similar "ping"...)
