Maybe you should look into the upcoming HTML 5 WebSockets and software that already offers implementations that can emulate it if not yet supported.

Some pointers are:

The basic protocol implementation is similar to jamod, but modbus4j fixes a number of jamod issues, and it also adds a very nice usability API to easily handle the common ways in which Modbus is actually used.

Given that I am the author of jamod, I find it a bit sad that you had to re-invent the wheel (and also the fact that you copied the OO design and didn't even give jamod any credits).

I even remember fixing problems that you reported (I assume that there aren't so many Matthew Lohbihler's).....

Kind of makes your open source spirit questionable, at least for me

I am constantly updating and fixing jamod and it's being used in industrial and commercial projects with the standard and the facade API (so I can't really follow what your critics about "usability" are referring to).

Anyways, just drop this here so that you and other parties know my side of this story.
