I use serial ports on a daily basis through USB to serial interfaces on my desktop machine and my laptop. Many embedded systems still use RS232 for communication. And the way to configure those serial USB ports is similar to the way to configure vanilla serial ports. However, if you're trying to learn Ada, using the serial port is probably not the best way to dig into the language :) Sam -- Samuel Tardieu -- sam@rfc1149.net -- http://www.rfc1149.net/
