Hi ,

If u go to

control panel - System - hardware - Device manager - port - COM1 then right click on it and see the properties, and click the Port Settings.

I want to read the bits per second from there.

Yes, quite portable Java would be to allow this 8-))) . Boy, awake from dream world -- all OSes are different!

To work with Windows settings, you should:

1) Know where this settings is stored (buy MSDN). I just can hint that somewhere in Registry.

2) Use JNI to call Win32 API to access this value.

Good luck.

I would recommend to specify this by user. Hardware is admin's responibility, or at least advanced user.
