You would need an external program to do the polling, and then decide on a course of action for getting the data into R:Base. For instance, upon receipt of a poll the program could insert a row into a table (via ODBC) with a trigger on the table to process the input.
We work with a product that interfaces with RF scanners via TCP/IP; it is currently under further development to use an ODBC interface with the database. I know that the company would be willing to talk to you about your requirements.
