serial communication
This isn't really a unix question, or even a programming question, but I hope you guys can help. I want to create a program to control the electricity on a model railway.

I have created the program to that it sends characters over the serial cable, but now I need to do the switch that will control the voltage and interfaces with the serial cable.

Do any of you guys have any ideas on how to do this? Or know any links that might help?
