Migrating from javacomm API

JDialer uses javacomm to interact with serial ports.
Version 2 of javacomm, produced by Sun, is released for Windows and Solaris only.
Rxtx.org is a project released under LGPL to let applications use javacomm on Mac and Linux too.

Lately Sun has released javacomm 3, for Solaris and Linux.
There is not a Windows version and I was unable to find the prev version on their site.
I've tried the linux one and it doesn't work.
I've tried combining the solaris version with rxtx and it doesn't work.

This is a real problem since JDialer is heavly based on that lib.

This weekend I'll begin changing the code of JDialer to use gnu.io package by rxtx instead of javacomm by Sun, and to test it on both Linux and Windows.
