The answer is yes.

However, I think you need to ask a more detailed question...
What do you mean by "transmit data serially"? Most of the current  
interfaces in a PC are serial, for example (ethernet, USB, firewire,  
etc.) I'm assuming you are referring to the RS-232 serial port though?

However - fltk does not provide any portability layer for any of  
these serial interfaces: all are better supported by specific cross- 
platform libs elsewhere. Pick one that does what you need and use it.
Actually accessing the serial port on a PC is pretty trivial though,  
so writing your own code with a few #ifdef's to deal with the various  
different OS peculiarities is fairly easy, and quite educational too!
