A TCP socket would seem like the obvious choice.  Make collector have a
server socket (in its own thread, most likely).  This will then accept
connections from one or more (depending on your need) client apps, either
local or remote (you can refuse connections based on their IP address).  In
this way, you abstract the serial port nastiness from the final consumer
app, allowing you more flexibility in the future, should you need it.
