I tried "log" and it does contain communication data that is not useful
for me. And some bits are total garbage so there may be some of what you
mention in your second paragraph going on.
I have found that "cat /dev/vcsX" can copy ttyX, but of course not my
ttySX. I can format the capture with newlines (dd) and trim what I want
(sed). Attempting to get it to work on the serial lines.
