u can use a usb to serial convertor kit/cable. i have heard or seen about that once in a ad. make sure the kit requires any drivers or not.You may also search for a serial port PCI card in the market.

Getting a Simple USB to Serial converter would be cheaper and quiet easy to get. Search in ebay.in for the same. Since you require only a single Serial port, PCI cards with multiple serial ports would be rather useless.

Thx soubrabh and charangk

that must be cheaper than any other.

Thanks for your answer.I can't tell that I'm a begginer in Java but that code seems to me is coming from nowhere.
Can you please add more comments on the code?
SerialPortEventListener is an interface that comes with jdk1.2.2 or you wrote it?
What type is "myPort"?..is SerialPort?
This SerialPort datatype exists already in the packages from Sun or not?
What is tempData?...a byte?
Let me tell what I understood (and please tell if I'm right or not)
You have an interface called SerialPortEventListener
This interface has a method called serialEvent and you implement it.
You create a object of type SerialPort (e.g. myPort)
Then add the serial port listener to this object.
Please answer me..is very important for me because serial port reading (in Java)is one of the problems I have doing my college degree project.
