I assumed it was a name the system issued a USB to serial port device
and not reflected of the driver name. I know from my linux experience
dating back to 1998 that from what I remember most devices carried 
a system device name. And this device I referred to was for the latest
driver from prolific.com.tw.

I was under the impression that the port showed as

This just depends on the driver. Some drivers use different names.
