You are going to need some interface from the browser or ColdFusion to the
serial port on the point-of-sale computer. I don't know how to program it,
but I'd imagine a CFX tag can be created that sends a command to the serial
port to open the drawer. Of course this might not work unless your CF server
is also the point-of-sale computer. I don't know if VBScript or JavaScript
has access to the serial port of the computer. Probably an ActiveX component
could accomplish this on the browser. So that's the concept (which you
probably already knew) but the actual programming is the challenge.

Hello,
I am working on a fusebox cash register/inventory/web shopping cart system.
Everything is going great except that I don't know how to have the system
kick open the cash drawer at the end of a store sale.
Has anyone worked with this?
Thanks,
Ian
