Could anyone give me some tips on accessing peripherals on the workstations? I would like to read an iButton (small memory device, www.ibutton.com, accessed via the serial port) in my point of sale app as some sort of credit card (members only).
I have worked with activeX in a windows environment to access the serial port of the server through a browser and also have the layout of my user interface change according to tcp or udp messages. I have no idea as to how this is done using other languages or on other platforms (specificly linux - LTSP). I do know of accessing tcp and udp ports with PHP. tips anyone? I saw there were a lot of posts on the POS subject and they were really helpfull to me (thanks to everyone). In my search for a mailing list on this subject, I came across this: http://www.javapos.com/downloads/JavaPOSfaq.pdf This document mentions using this java-based solution on thick as well as thin-clients. and since java is platform independent, it runs on linux through a JVM. Hope this helps anyone, Michael. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Gadgets, caffeine, t-shirts, fun stuff. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
