Serial Port Osax

There are lots of devices from modems and printers to uninterruptable power supplies and home automation systems that easily plug into any serial port to communicate with a computer. Unfortunately, all too frequently these devices come with Windows or DOS software only. Until now, if you wanted to communicate with these devices from the Macintosh, you were stuck writing complicated serial port communication code in a language like C or C++. The SerialPort scripting addition makes it possible to send and recieve data over the serial port from AppleScript using very easy to write scripts. This shareware scripting addition comes with a comprehensive manual, several sample scripts, and glue code for using it from Frontier. The SerialPort scripting addition supports all of the communication settings (baud rate, handshaking, etc.) and any Macintosh serial port (including add-in cards). For more information on the SerialPort scripting addition and our other shareware products, please visit our web site: http://www.seracsoftware.com/ This release adds another command to check to see how much data is waiting to be sent. It also updates the user's manual and updates the contact info.
