[Tutor] newbie: Serial I/O question

[D-Man]

It sounds like you should be able to do this if you a) know how to communicate with the hardware (it's protocol) and b) have access to a web server's filesystem.  I don't know about the first, but since you are running Linux, you could have a web server on it.
