[ale] Linux and serial port control.

[hpreston at mindspring.com (hpreston at mindspring.com)]

I am looking into Linux as an OS for data gathering and port control for my
company.
I know virtually nothing about Linux and would appreciate any help on where
I could
find any information on: Tech info books on Port control, OEMs that use
Linux for
data gathering or any net source for the same.

TIA,

HP
