Personally, I would avoid Java for hardware handling - in my experience this is tricky and very hardware specific.
Sascha, is this for a Unix type machine or under windows? If under Unix/Linux, it should not be particularly difficult to send characters and receive characters in C through a plain rs-232 port - though I don't have any code examples for you. Just open the relevant /dev/cua0 (or whatever it is called on your machine) in character mode and treat it like a file.
cheers, Sean

Hi, I recall I've seen a RS232-interface communication class in Java a few years ago. I can't remember for what platforms it were written for (I think it relied on some native code). If you find it, you then might be able to use the SJava package by Omegahat (http://www.omegahat.org/RSJava/). A long shot, but it might be better than nothing.

Subject: [R] R and RS232-Interface?
Hi there
Does any one of you know something about R and an implemented RS232-Interface? Are there any packages? Or is it possible to write an extensions or something like that in C/C++ ?
The problem is that i should handle the information from a measuring device via the RS232-Interface (probably you know LabVIEW, which provides this functionality). These informations should then directly be handled by R.
Is this possible?
(I hope I found the right words, I'm swiss, J )
thanks
