On some arduinos, there are extra hardwareserial ports, called serial1, serial2, etc. You can change this to a higher value, but you will also have to change the arduio serial.
Twoportreceive two serial ports that receive data switching from one to the other one when a special character is received. If you just want to use a software serial interface, see the softwareserial library included with arduino 0007 and later. I do not think that using softwareserial and serial at the same time is a problem. The arduino hardware has builtin support for serial communication on pins 0 and 1 which also goes to the computer via the usb connection. This starts serial communication, so that the arduino can send out commands through the usb connection. This code sends data received in one serial port of the arduino mega to another.
