First of all: I was just missing the fact, that /dev/ttyS3 is there but did not show up in `ls /dev/ttyS3' as Igor stated. Thanks for the hint. I'm still no perl expert and I have to learn "the correct way to do it". I want to write my modules as portable as possible and Cygwin seems to be the best approach. :-) I'm trying to get rid of using Visual Basic on Windows, which I used a lot in the past for such kind of things including using com ports. I installed Device::SerialPort altough some tests fail. I'm trying to find out why, but this may take some time and is probably not related with Cygwin anymore. -- Cheers, Oliver -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
