Missing COM ports in Windows

Crate version is latest published (4.2.0)
I have a USB connected cell modem that enumerates in windows as 5 COM ports. On some computers, all of these are listed in device manager under "Ports (COM & LPT)" while on others, 2 of the ports only show up under "Modems".
In ^^, COM5 and COM7 are the "modem" ports
- Those two ports are never listed by
serialport::available_ports() - YAT / TeraTerm find both of the ports (YAT with a name, TeraTerm has no info)
- https://docs.rs/serial2/latest/serial2/struct.SerialPort.html#method.available_ports does list those two ports on all tested computers
It would greatly simplify the hack I currently have in place to find the modem ports if those "modem" ports could also be listed
Yeah, for some reason serial port rs tends to skip those ports associated with modems, happens on linux too ( TTYACMx ), though opening a modem as a serial port is supported and supposed to work, so you can configure the modem.
