Yes, I have used the Java Communications API to talk to a serial port.

I have used it with both JDK 1.1.7 and JDK 1.2 under Windows 95/98/NT.

It has worked very well for me. I have a dedicated home automation machine

that runs 24 hours a day and communicates with a device connected to the

serial port. I have also used it in conjunction with a Dallas Java iButton

connected to a parallel port.

Can you show me a sample? How did you implement this function?
