Hello,
The cross-platform idea is an interesting one but there seems to be many routes that could *possibly* work.
The two I've seen that look most promising are Ruby and Mono. Both claim to be OS and Hardware independent and I've found RS232 Serial COM examples for both.

http://www.mono-project.com/HowToSystemIOPorts
The downside to this is it would require a lot of learning on my part, and as I've only got a PC I could only test Windows and Linux (no access to a MAC)
The big upside of course is that this would mean one source code for an application that could work on all OS's.
The only other big question mark with these two languages is how to access the REST protocols to do the uploading of the data.

P.S We seem to have gone way off track from the Bayer USB - perhaps we should continue this discussion in the Site Development ;)
