I'm studying Electronics Engineering in the University of Rosario (Argentina) and am a beginner Java programmer who needs detailed information and code examples about the use of the Java Communications API (my final project includes the use of the RS 232 interface to share information between two PCs). Sun Microsystems' documents on this topic are not tutorials, the books I can get in my country don't cover this sort of I/O and I can't afford to import a book from the USA ( since "1 dollar = 3 pesos" ). Would you please send me some information of yours or tell me where I could find it on the Internet?
