Hello, When you installed the javax.comm package, or depending on what JDK you are using, you should be required to install a few native files on the system. I wasn't really aware that this would be compatible w/ Linux. Is the Java Comm API in the Linux version of the Sun JDK? If so, and if you are positive that it is installed successfully (By testing with a box with a native serial port), then you should be able to create an enumeration of the currently available ports on the system. This will give you the names of the COM port you wish to address. See the JavaDoc for more details:
http://java.sun.com/products/javacomm/javadocs/packages.html I am sure that the problem is due to the native libraries that are required to implement the Comm API. Currently you can download the Windows/Solaris versions at: http://java.sun.com/products/javacomm/index.html Additionally, the FAQ states: Q: Is there a linux version of the Java communications API? A: We do not provide a linux implementation. But Kevin Hester has written Java communications API drivers for linux and uses our CommPort driver loading scheme to load his own gnu.io.RXTXCommDriver class. He gave us permission to disclose his web page: http://www.interstice.com/kevinh/linuxcomm.html Hope this helps! Regards, Todd E.

Since I don't have serial port on my laptop (Compaq presario 1700), I bought Belkin USE-serial converter F5U409 (seems like compatible with F5U109). I compiled linux 2.4.18 with mct_u232 module, and it worked. But I cannot connect to it with javax.comm package. It seems like that it only accepts COM1-4, not /tty/usb/ttyS0, etc. I couldn't find any information regarding this on the google, etc. If you know the solution or have some suggestions I can try, let me know. Thanks in advance.
