Reading data from a serial port

Greg Snow 
I don't know of a specific package, but there is support for various 
connections in R.  look for help on connections by typing:

?connection

There is also a section in the R Data Import/Export document on 
connections.  You will probably use a fifo or a pipe.

Good luck,

I need to read data from from a medical appliance via the serial port.
This 
medical appliance produces streams of set data at regular intervals.
What commands,  packages are available for this purpose?
