The standard comms interface does have RS232 Serial, not all the signals but enough for straightforward comms, it just needs software written at each end to do whatever you want! (e.g. on the Sam and PC). I did once use it at 38.4kbps with a modem to dial into a mate’s linux box to get to the shell console and experiment with things like Lynx and Telnet! I know a couple other people who are tinkering with Serial stuff, not quite sure what they are doing though!
There was someone working on linking a Sam to the PC via the MIDI sockets as well, not quite sure what happened to that project.
