Well, using the beauty or the Unix device paradigm, you can open /dev/ttyS1 to do IO to the serial port. (S0 is DOS COM1, S1 is DOS COM2, etc.) I don't know if you can do ioctl()s on it from java, so you might have to do something ugly like system( "stty crtscts 115200 < /dev/ttyS1" ); to change the serial port setting from java. (system() is C, but there's a java equivalent somewhere. System.run() or something?) -- #define X(x,y) x##y DUPS Secretary ; http://is2.dal.ca/~dups/ Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , dal.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
