In Windows - not so much a COM object, as a suite of API's. In
the MSDN documentation, you can learn about the complexity's of
serial port i/o with API's. If you're not already familiar with
programming Windows, there's a pretty steep learning curve for
API's.
If you have rights to install ActiveX controls on the server,
you can probably pick up one of those for a couple of bucks that
will do what you're asking. Then, Serial I/O will be a snap
through PHP.
