i got a code to receive message....but wen i receive it its showing a string which is not readable... if possible please edit dis code to retreive the origianl string message.... here is the code import java.io.*; import java.util.*; import javax.comm.*;

public class SimpleRead implements Runnable, SerialPortEventListener { static CommPortIdentifier portId; static Enumeration portList;

            }
        }
    }
}
