Not sure how to find that information, but I tried ;-)

On one machine, lspci gives:
 00:16.3 Serial controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family KT Controller (rev 04)

and dmidecode gives:


  Handle 0x0023, DMI type 8, 9 bytes
  Port Connector Information
          Internal Reference Designator: VGA/COMA
          Internal Connector Type: None
          External Reference Designator: COMA
          External Connector Type: DB-9 male
          Port Type: Serial Port 16550A Compatible

  Handle 0x0024, DMI type 8, 9 bytes
  Port Connector Information
          Internal Reference Designator: COMB
          Internal Connector Type: Proprietary
          External Reference Designator: COMB
          External Connector Type: DB-9 male
          Port Type: Serial Port 16550A Compatible


On another machine, there's nothing in lspci, and dmidecode gives:

  Handle 0x0007, DMI type 8, 9 bytes
  Port Connector Information
          Internal Reference Designator: J2A2A
          Internal Connector Type: None
          External Reference Designator: COM A
          External Connector Type: DB-9 male
          Port Type: Serial Port 16550A Compatible

and dmesg has:

  Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled
  serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A

Anything else I could do to find out more?
