It should be something more like:

serial://com1/

The protocol for talking to com2 would be the same as talking to com1 - 
its the address thats different. Feel free to substitute serial with 
some other string.

Obviously no browser supports this as yet but I believe you could do it 
via a Mozilla/Firefox plugin. Overload user:password@host:port stuff to 
set baud rate etc.

I think if you put it in the right place, you could serialise the 
requests within Firefox. Never done it myself of course :-)
