I had to use RXTX instead of javax.comm. So that I could use RXTX 1.2 I 
had to change the JavaKit.java source code file and recompile it. It's 
just one line in the file:

import javax.comm.*;

was changed to

import gnu.io.*

Almost the same as the modification required for MacOS (see comments in 
JavaKit.java file).

I'm not sure whether the license for the JavaKit allows me to release my 
changes. Not a big issue though as the source is included in the SDK 
download.

OT: Why, when I reply to a message on the list, does the To field has 
the address of the sender and not tini-6tN4nzCoH/[email protected]?
