I used "type java" from cygwin and got:
Java is hashed (/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/java)

I looked, and sure enough, java itself is in there, but it doesn't make
mention of where the extensions and such should go.  I'm using 1.6.0_01, so
I tried moving my files to correspond with what you had, (e.g., c:\program
files\java\jdk1.6.0_01\jre\lib\ext\comm.jar, etc.), but I still get the same
error.  I tried using different COM numbers, and it still hasn't helped.
(Why oh why isn't there one centralized directory for all the java stuff on
a PC?)  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Greg Turnipseed
