FYI, I have "fake constructed" a reply to this message from l.d.o
by formatting the text above myself, using the same subject,
and faking the in-reply-to and references headers. Let's see if
it works. On to my reply:
If it's RS232 all you need to know is the wire protocol, then write your
own Linux software. I wrote some Visual Basic 3.0 softare to control a
Cotton Baler over the RS232 a hundred years ago. Just dig up a manual.
