[R] Creating a new connection type

[Paulo Jabardo]

Hello. I have an instrument, actually a step motor indexer that I want to drive from R. It uses an RS-232 connection. I already have a few C subroutines that I access from R but I would like to be able use R's connection related functions - readLines, writeLines, cat, read.table, etc - directly. Does any one have any suggestions on how a I should proceed to create a new connection type? Is it even possible without going down to R's guts?

Thanks for any help
