I wrote an app several months ago using javax.comm on windows. Sun has left me high and dry. rxtx help!

• download [1]
• unzip it
• copy rxtxSerial.dll into your c:\program files\java\jre-version\bin dir
• copy RXTXcomm.jar into your c:\program files\java\jre-version\lib\ext dir
• change all references from 'javax.comm' to 'gnu.io'
• recompile
• test

 Dido Sun left me Hi and dry. After 30+ hours wasting my life on
javax.comm it is the RXTXcomm 2.1.7 that really worked the first 
time

 REMEMBER !! for the newbies
  Change the all occurences of the import javax.comm.*; in  
   MyApps.java
  TO import gnu.io.*;
 I did not even have to recompile as suggested the rxtxSerial.dll

 a job well done for the rxtx.org team.
