It doesn't only work, it's the preferred way (if you don't use advanced wrappers like pyserial). For the basics see http://www.easysw.com/~mike/serial/serial.html > especially since we would need to set a baud rate. What is the relationship between read/write, the baud rate, and efficiency? The serial port is configured using POSIX terminal interface (termios). Regards, Björn -- BOFH excuse #89: Electromagnetic energy loss -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
