Thanks Bill, that looks like a nice and clean solution. I tinkered with it a bit last night and it seems to work just as advertised. Chuck - It looks to me like Bill's approach should just work. I can't think of any reason why custom udev rules would make any difference. The Qt wiki indicates that QtSerialPort is fully supported on Linux, MacOSX, and Windows. -- John C.
