You can certainly do this with the LPT port(s). I hope you realise that the
serial
ports have only 1 output line, so hooking LED's to "all" pins won't do much
good.
Not to mention that any data sent to the serial ports lasts for, let's say,
1/9600 th
of a second, so it's going to be rather hard to see anything unless you
decode the
serial data and latch it in some way.
