I am using .Net Compact Framework on a Windows Mobile 6 environment and I need to get a list of modems and the serial port that they're attached to. In the full .Net Framework it can be easily done using System.Management.ManagementObject class; but, unfortunately this is not available in .NET Compact Framework and I haven't found any other way to do it. Anyone have any ideas?
A:
Usually such info can be found in the registry. I'm not sure which keys exactly would contain the information you require, but a quick look showed me that \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ExtModems lists some modems on my WM6 device and each of them has a Port value.

I think this is the right answer, but I've hit another brick wall of not having a driver for the modem that I can put on the mobile device. I will certainly respond with success or failure of this method once I have been able to test it.
