I just heard about an Apollo client that needs to be able to talk to the serial point (point of sale).

Apollo can't handle native access like this (yet? maybe one day?) so how could they do this?

They implemented HTTPNI. I think it is going to go through ECMA next year.

They wrote a server that is native and can do the POS work.... and the Apollo application can use binary sockets to talk to the server sitting on localhost.

Nice :)
