I have a couple of questions:
1. Can an applet read the serial port on a local machine?
Can it call a C function that reads the serial port, and if it can,
does that c function have to be on the local machine or does it get
sent with the bytecodes when the applet is downloaded?
Can an applet call an application. written in Java, which reads a
serial port?
It comes down to wanting to allow an applet to use an external device
on the local machine which downloads it. What options do I have?
Thanks,
A. Jaimes
