java SerialPort program doesn\'t work on Z???

[liferey]

I downloaded SimpleRead.java from

http://java.sun.com/developer/releases/jav...SimpleRead.java

It worked well on a linux desktop. But when I move it to Z, it said
\"No /dev/ttyS0\".... This java program couldn\'t find any CommPortIdentifier.

I got the comm.jar for Zaurus from
http://s88074083.onlinehome.us/Zaurus/Index.htm
and it is saved in /home/QtPalmtop/java/comm.jar. I am pretty sure ttyS0 is open because I can use a C program to read from it. What could be the problem?

I\'ve searched all the messages and nobody\'s ever had this problem before. Am I missing some real obvious steps here? I will be forever indebted for your help!

If you solved this, could you please let me know?

Thanks in advance, Jeff

I've noticed some strange Java bugs with my 6000L that I didn't have with the Jeode JVM on my trusty old 5000d.  Is it possible to just scrap the newer JVM & run Jeode on the 6000L?  I wonder what the maximum screen resolution would be with Jeode.  Anyone know?  Is there an alternative (other than Jeode) that I can run on the 6000?  Something less flakey?
