[WriteLog] Ports

If the USB devices are assigned a (virtual) serial port, the 
manufacturer has a real problem.  Windows XP (and Vista) has 
native USB support for USB mice, keyboards and headsets - it 
is HID (Human Interface Device) specification and does not 
require using a (virtual) serial port number.
