I really don't think you can go that low level without breaking the cross OS barrier that java uses. Meaning you would have to link to a c program written specifically for a OS. I know you can do this in Assembly Language, C,C++, and Visual Basic........

good luck

Serial Port access is not possible with pure Java. You have to implement it native in an other language (assembly, C, C++).


But you can also look at

http://www.sc-systems.com/

They have a Serial Port package for JAVA that is supporting 21 platforms. But as far as I know it's not free.

Thanks for your answers, but I found something on

The COMM API provides Serial Port access. It's avaiable for Win / Solaris and a port for Linux(x86), but Linux is not suported from SUN.
