I would like to thank everybody that has provided ideas on serial port communications using ooRexx. I do not have a final solution yet, but with your help I have had partial success. "stty" says that it has changed the port speed, but it really has not. Using one of my more sophisticated

Another thought I had is to use something like socat. At least in Linux. socat is a command line program that can hook up inputs and outputs. So you could hook up your /dev/… device to a Named Pipe, or even a socket. Your Rexx program can then use the named pipe of socket to communicate
