I need to be able to control (open, close, read, and write) an RS-232 Serial Port under OS X (I’m using a USB to Serial adapter) I have found Scripting Additions for OS 9.1 but none for OS X. Any Ideas…?
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? :?:
How, ironic… I’m going to be probably asking the same question about a SCSI connection here soon.
I think you can do it using the shell, but I have absolutelly no idea about what I’m talking about. Maybe here you can find more info:

I’m looking for the same thing : how to control serial port (with usb adapter) with applescript.
If anybody got an answer…
Yeah, we need to find something along these lines because by next July, I want to be able to control a beer tap via voice commands given to my PowerBook. I don’t care which port it uses as long as it works. If I had my druthers, it would be some kind of WiFi or Bluetooth setup. 8)

or
write your applescript in a unix wrapper format using the “stty” command. type man stty in the terminal.
Good Luck!!
