This depends on the device and how it's intended to communicate with the
computer. Is it a serial port link, an ethernet connection, or some
other connection mechanism? Is there a device driver for it in /dev?
What sort of communication protocol does it use?
Without knowing some of these specifics, we will have a hard time
helping you, and the more specific you are, the better the help that
you're likely to get. (Obviously, as a newbie, you may not know *how*
to answer some specifics, but give us what you *do* know and we'll try
to help you find any more details that are needed.) You may also
benefit by reading ESR's essay "How To Ask Smart Questions" (
