[Ben Sgro]

Hey Corey,

The robotics application I'm working on is a SRV1 from trossenrobotics. 
It's a really neat little device.
I actually DONT use the serial stuff now that I have wifi working, I 
know use that to communicate w/the device.

The RXTX link I provided has decent information on using the Java Serial 
Classes.

I didn't write this application, I'm just making alterations to the open 
source console java application for the SRV1.
We could chat off list and I'd be more than happy to offer any help.

Rolan's comments about making a C program is probably your best bet. C 
will be able to do that no problem.

I also did some programming for a hardware RFID reader from 
TrossenRobotics as well. Did that in C, which
then calls system("whatever.php") and does the db processing, etc; 
Sometimes you just can't get it done in php... = ]
