How do I access the DB9 on the Homework Board?

I have a homework board and I want to use the serin/serout commands with the pins on the DB9 connector, but I have no idea what these pins are. I tried SERIN 0, ..., but It's not that. And as far as I know, 1-15 are general purpose I/O pins. does it have it's own unique number/name that I should use in the code?

Thank you,
Justin W

    Try specifying pin number 16. Pins 0-15 correspond to the I/O pins on the stamp, but when you specify pin 16, the IDE knows to use the DB9 connector.
