If you want it for Solaris or Linux go to;

http://java.sun.com/products/javacomm/index.jsp

and select "Download" on the left side.

The Windows software has been removed completely from the Sun site.
There is nobody working on it as far as I know. RXTX for Windows has a
lot of bugs and was unusable as of my last test in the fall. The last
version supplied by Sun for Windows worked fine on 98 and XP. I have
not heard of anybody trying it on Vista however.

If you want a Windows copy, send me an email. I'll tell you how to
install it too.

The Windows version of RXTX is full of bugs and was unusable when I last
tested it in the fall.

Didn't see this one mentioned

http://serialio.com/products/serialport/serialport.php

It is a commercial product, and I haven't used it, yet. Others
may be able to comment.
