I have written a program that can send data out the serial port. But now I want to receive on the same computer. I have made a loopback serial connection. When I try to use whatever.readLine() I don't get any compilation errors, but the program hangs on that line (ie. not freezes, but doesn't continue). The only successful method I've found to use is to use whatever.read() which reads a byte at a time which is being incredibley slow (for a Pentium I).
I initialise the reader in the following way:
Does anyone have a better method for reading from the serial port?
If anything is unclear, just ask.

Code:
DataInputStream is = new DataInputStream(port.getInputStream());
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(is));
