Hi, I would like to generalize this problem in the following sense. I have not updated to version 6.x, yet. However, since the 6.x version has some nice graphic interface, I would like to be able to incorporate my 16-button mouse via one port, a big digitizer via second port, and say some form of color scanner via the third port (parallel, serial, usb, anything, ...) into this new 6.x environment, on-line, live, without need of transfer of data files. I presume, the MathLink is way to go; My question is, does someone already have some experience with this, And/or did he wrote some program/interface to accomplish these, and similar deeds, i.e., control external sensors via Mathematica program.

Hi, MathLink run fine in the communication of two C programs without any Mathematica kernel. But you *have* to write some C/C++ code ..
