We looked at serial port control from Java recently. One problem
is that there is really no "java standard" for serial port access. Sun
has proposed one and implmented it it for Solaris, but it is not part of the
Java Virtual Machine per se. We ended up having our Java application
telnet into the UNIX server and run ckermit!
