Hi,
    I've finally managed to get my serial ports working with the javax.comm
library, and all appears to be working ok. However, I need to send ascii
characters such as <null> <EOT> <SOH> and <ETX>

which is the prefered way ?

char nullchar 0x00;                // assign ascii <null>

or

byte nullchar 0x00;            // assign ascii <null>

or am I totally wrong on both counts.

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
