Serial port is supported in Java by using Sun's javax.comm package
and the RXTX driver for Linux.

Check out http://jarvi.ezlink.com/rxtx/
Remember to download the javax.comm package for Solaris as the
Windows version won't work with the RXTX driver.

Subject:        Serial port access 

I would like to access the serial port of a machine on which an applet
or application is being run to read data from a weather station
connected to a PC over a serial line. Does anyone know of available
classes for reading the port?

Thanks,

Per Bj. Bro
