Hi friends, I came to know from Java-Linux FAQ mail archives that, there is no parallel port support in Java 1.1 for Linux. In Jdk 1.2.2 for Linux it was not mentioned because comm api is not part of core jdk ( i remember i have read it ). When i looked at Java Comm for Linux web page it was mentioned there that there is no parallel port support (i.e from native Linux code) from Java for Linux. Can any one update me on this? regards, syam ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
