PHP Serial: Communicate with a serial port
This class can be used to communicate with a serial port under Linux or Windows.
It takes the path (like "/dev/ttyS0" for linux or "COM1" for windows) of serial device and checks whether it is valid before opening a connection to it.
Once the connection is opened, it can send data to the serial port, and read answers (reading is only implemented for Linux).
The class may also change connection parameters for the given serial device.
The class is working with Linux for read and write operations, but under Windows it only works for write operations. Under Windiws try accessing the serial port through network with serproxy instead.
The class have been reported to work fine with Mac OS X, but it was not tested it.
