Marcel, I have not been following your posts closely but there are a couple
of open source packages for serial communications: JavaComm, and RxTx.
I've used RxTx in Java on a computer without a serial port.  I purchased an
inexpensive Seiral to USB converter (Digitus) which was recognized by
Ubuntu 12.04.

I wrote an event driven application to "talk" to a high tech camera's side
channel (just commands and responses, no image data).  It was easy to do.
Here's a link but you will need to use Google to get some more examples, I
think.  RxTx works with various OSs.
