bikeNomad hasn't been in these hallowed halls in the last decade and is therefore unlikely to see your message. His contact info is on the home node and his website (and at the top of this thread too). HTH.	[reply]

Thank you. I am fully aware of that and have prodded him by mail as well but think it should be discussed in public :)	[reply]

If you're open to using modules from CPAN, you can check out Control::CLI. For serial port connections, it will use "Win32::SerialPort or Device::SerialPort for Serial port access respectively on Windows and Unix systems". That let's you write one code that can be used on either platform. And the module's author does include license and copyright information in the documentation. And there's a chance that you might get better support (like bug fixes) by using the CPAN module than using bikeNomad's code posted on this site. Just tossing out an alternative for you to consider.

Ned just replied by Email, stating `As far as I am concerned, the code is in the public domain. Enjoy! Hope this helps.` [download] so this case is closed. Thanks to dasgar for suggesting using Control::CLI that I was not aware of.	[reply] [d/l]
