I occasionally need to monitor traffic on RS-232 lines connecting
computers to terminals, modems, computers and other equipment capable of
providing an RS-232 connection.  The frequency is such that buying a
line/protocol analyser is not a justifiable expense.

I would like to use Kermit on a PC to provide the capability to
display/log the traffic up and down the line. The line characteristics
baud rate, stop/data bits and parity will always be known. Connection
will be via a three plug ribbon cable connecting both endpoints and the COM1:
port on the PC.

Has anyone tried this? What cabling/Kermit problems will occur when I try
to connect everything together?
