I can't get javax.comm to work, and I am unsure if there is windows support for javax.comm, or what the deal is. Does anyone know if the API is even in working condition?
That is an interface, so I would suppose you are using the Sun reference implementation.It works. Or at least it does on some OSes.If you search you will find an open source one that, as reported on this site, is better. There are probably commercial ones as well.

Sun dropped Windows support for Java COMM at some point. There's a GNU thing called RXTX which has the same API that works on Windows, but for some reason they changed all the package names, instead of using Sun's package names and a hidden provider as God or Gosling intended.
