SPlatten:
I do, but in order to try what you recommend a native library is also required...like RXTX JSSC makes reference to native calls.Trying streams did not work, hence the reason why someone took the time to write RXTX and JSSC.
How strange, because I've been using streams using Java alone on that /dev/ttyUSB0 device for months now (polling them) and it works as a breeze ...
kind regards,
Jos
