serial port

[sahaquiel]

Hi, i going to work with an application that need to use the serial port, this port recives 2 datas from an external device, then this data is compared with a data base and then shows some information in google maps. My question is ¿ i can work with serial port in this server?, Has anyone worked with something like this?

The serial ports (/dev/ttyS*) aren't world readable, so no. Besides, how do you plan on connecting your device to the servers? If you mean to connect your device to your computer rather than to the servers, then that you're using a serial port doesn't matter because serial ports are never accessible via a network; they're strictly local devices.
