Answer 1

There's no access to computer resources, but you can communicate with sockets. So it's possible to have your users install an application which listens on a port and communicates with a COM port.

Why are you trying to communicate with a COM port? If you're looking for webcam support, take a look at Jonas's hack which uses Flash to get webcam input: http://jonas.follesoe.no/WebcamInSilverlight2MacGyverStyle.aspx
