Re: Com and Serial Ports

You'll probably need to be a little more clear in what your trying to achieve before you'll get a good answer.

Do you want to have a conversation between your program and the device(s) on the other end or just 'monitor the traffic passing through?
What OS(s) are you targeting?

If I understand your problem, I can solve it! Of course, the same can be said for you.

Hmm.. i see.. The program is to receive data. This data is transmited by satellite and received by a device that is connected to a com or serial port. What I want to do is a program that listen the port and when it receives the data do some king of process. My question is if there is any module that can listen a port. The OS can be either windows or linux. Thank you for your valuable help. Nuno	[reply]

Take a look at Win32::SerialPort, Win32::CommPort and Device::SerialPort. Examine what is said, not who speaks.
