I don't suppose someone of your ilk could point a young bloke to some
reading on serial comms with linux boxes? I have a box of odd things
I'd like to get going to save some manual data input (microchip reader,
barcode scanners etc). Might even be useful when I get a GPS next year.
I keep putting it off for a rainy day, but the drought hasn't broken
yet. About 20 years ago did a bit with minicom and remote weather
stations, but can't recall how I got started.

Put on your green suit and jump right in Les. I've forgotten at least half of
what I ever knew about serial.
