To my understanding, Java does not handle physical devices.
See Chapter 11, Native Serial I/O, in Rob Gordon's
"Essential JNI" (Prentice Hall), for UNIX (POSIX) and Win (COM)
example code, available per ftp:
ftp.prenhall.com/pub/ptr/professional_computer_science.w-022/
gordon/essential_jni.
There are surely GPL sources out there, too. I recommend the
book, so far it has mentioned every pitfall I encountered.
