No reason to skip the php-wrapper, You can execute a C-program from
within your PHP code, and of course you can access serial ports from
within that C-program. Just access the file /dev/cua?
Or maybe you can even use the existing program chat...
(see man chat)

> Hi,

> my Linux server can be connected through serial port.
>
> I have not done any serial programming. Can some body tell me if
> this can be achieved through a CGI program written in C/C++ which
> can be run
> from the cgi-bin on my server?
>
> Are there any ready made scripts/programs to take care of this
> functionality? My other pages are developed using PHP3.
