There is http://www.rxtx.org/ from Trent Jarvi which provides the gnu.io
version. There is also the GNU ClasspathX javax.comm (based on rxtx) by
Chris Burdess at: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/classpathx/
[I haven't tried this yet with jtreg]

There are different javax.comm API versions, not all of them are
compatible, which is why rxtx created their own interfaces in gnu.io.
